Pick a rounder font? Oh, you mean the front/edges/whatever... Hmm, well if
you use megapov, you could use trace to place blobs appropriately. I think
there have been some examples of this in binaries.images.
My entry in the ocean irtc (tmstormc) used a similiar approach to lay the
gold rim around the top of the cup.
You could also try creating an intersection of a blob and a letter, with the
blob wider but shallower than the letter (ie. the face of the letter should
stick up out of the blob, but be entirely surrounded by blob).

Matthew Edd Tillman (mrh### [at] usanet) has produced a macro that
generates nice rounded text made from CSG bits of torus. If it's not on
his web site (http://www.bigfoot.com/~special_edd) you could try a web
search for "rchar.inc".

If you're working under Windows, search the links on povray.org for a
program called Elefont, it is really great at doing bevels and
extrusions and such on fonts, real-time previews included.

Try SoftText at Rune's site, http://rsj.mobilixnet.dk it lets you
chose the text you want and then select the size and roundedness
IIRC, it also has capabilities for wrapping text around objects
etc.

If you are talking about the macro I made, it didn't use trace(), it
used the eval_pattern() function with the object pattern to put a bunch
of blob components inside the text object.

Hmm... I would try using height fields, in the same way as in "spiral".
