I imagine this is a pretty simple question, but I've been
struggling with it for a while now...  I wish to arrange the
letters of a text object along the inside of circle.

http://www.monkeybox.org/

Specifically, I'm attempting to recreate the logo in the upper
left -- but with more pov-ish shapes and textures.

Would I be better off trying to arrange the letters using a
spline, buy hand, or some trick I'm not aware of?

Hi
Look at shapes.inc in standard includes of povray 3.5
#macro Circle_Text(F, T, S, Sp, Th, R, I, J, A) should fit your needs.
Yet I didn't use it

Embarrassingly, I found Circle_Text about 3 minutes after I
clicked [send] (actually ZZy).  I just knew it'd be simple.
