Is there any known way to create a text object that follows a 2D path or
(even better) the surface of an object.
I am just asking
Thanks in advance

AFAIK there's no way to do this in moray.
  Using the scripting language of povray 3.1 it's possible to put the
individual letters on some defined path, but finding a surface is not
possible
  With MegaPov you can also find the location of a surface at certain points
using the trace-function.
  Bending the letters (at least the ttf ones) to follow the path is not
possible.

main(i,_){for(_?--i,main(i+2,"FhhQHFIJD|FQTITFN]zRFHhhTBFHhhTBFysdB"[i]
):5;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/
