Re: text on a curved baseline?

[Dov Grobgeld <dov grobgeld gmail com>]

What do you mean with drawing text? Through the text property of the label
widget? Then the answer is indeed no.

But you can always create a drawing area and draw whatever you want with
cairo in the expose event. You will then have no problem drawing in a circle
as you can loop over each character and draw it separately. I believe that
Behdad wrote an example for this in the pango example directory.
