Actually, I merged the text and a torus to curve the text.  It seemed more
efficient than subtracting a torus from a cylinder (or rectangle), and then
subtracting the result from the text.  I'm using an AA setting of 0.3.

I'm not sure what you are saying about the CSG's.  Which is faster,
difference or merge?
