In musing about PostScript I came across "Mathematical Illustrations"
by Bill Casselman, http://www.math.ubc.ca/~cass/graphics/manual/ and
his example of text-on-a-path on page 3 of the preface,
http://www.math.ubc.ca/~cass/graphics/manual/pdf/preface.pdf. The
technique is explicated in Appendix 7.
