A macro already exists in the 3.5 includes for doing something almost like
that. I've modified Ron Parker's script to place text onto a cylinder
surface, a very minor change of adding a 10th parameter called L (for Label)
which just rotates the font character in a direction to lay the correct way.
I'll post it to p.t.s-f. group, since explaining how to make the change and
use it might not be completely understandable if I don't show all the pov
script itself, and maybe other people will find it useful too. Look for
subject line "modified circle text macro". And hopefully I won't be stepping
on any toes by posting an already included macro, albeit changed slightly.
