[XeTeX] Text on a path (was : Drop-shadows with outline fontsin XeTeX ?)

[Philip TAYLOR (Webmaster, Ret'd)]

Thank you, John : I have never previously considered using
PSTricks, living solely in a PDF world, but if as you say
PSTricks work with XeTeX, that would be a great plus.

Unfortunately my very first attempt failed : the text comes
out horribly mangled, and horizontal, not curved, and the
following text (which is just fine otherwise) completely
disappears !

\input pstricks

\input pst-text

\psset{linestyle=none}

\pstextpath[c]{\psarcn(0,0){73pt}{180}{0}}{Centre National de la}

\pstextpath[c]{\psarc(0,0){73pt}{180}{0}}{Recherche Scientifique}

\font \Westernfont = "Palatino Linotype/B: color=0000FF" at 72 bp

\font \Easternfont = "AR PL KaitiM Big5/B: color=FF0000; embolden=3" at 
72 bp

\Easternfont 安

\Westernfont Thai-An

\Easternfont 泰

\end
