Almost certainly, but one would have to wonder if using some other tool (a vector one) wouldn't be better.

Yes, that would be better ... but with Syriac, I can't get Inkscape to
script (at least on the Mac here). I haven't tried Cenon or
Creaturehouse Expression. But we /do/ have Illustrator on one of the
PCs here, so I think I can get the text scripted on the other machine
and then render it as a path to tweek. <br>

Gareth, why not send me a sample text and how you'd like to have it
curved? --- I can give it a try sometime soon.<br>
