You are asking about curved texture becouse text object is on straight line.
But object is not texture! If you want text{} to be texture you have to use it
in object pattern.

Once your texture is created it is just definition for calculating colors in
rendering process. This definition can be modified further with uv_mapping,
user defined functions applied to coordinates or warps. In case of MegaPOV
also displace warp can be used
