Worse yet, it may not have been I who posted it.  I certainly don't remember
writing such a macro.

Here's a post that might be what you're looking for.  It's not a macro, 
though.

The original thread was at least partly in povray.binaries.images; here's
the info on the post that started it off:

  From: "Handler" <web### [at] netscapenet>

  Subject: Bending text into a curve or partial arc? Is this possible?

Unfortunately, it's expired from the server.  Remco de Korte followed up 
with a solution as well, but I'm not sure if there was a macro to go with
it.  You might look at other stuff around the same date in one of the 
scene-files groups.
