Hi,
I want to arrange some text on (part of) a circle, and the only way I
can see to do it is to rotate the coordiantes slightly after each
letter. Obviously the exact amount of rotation required will depend on
the letter.
Now I could do this by trial and error, but before I emabark on a whole
load of fiddling, is there a better way that I just haven't spotted?
Thanks.

The POV 3.5 betas come with a built-in "CircleText()" macro and an
example file called "circletext.pov" that does this.

Thanks Mike,
I've got the beta and it look like it does exactly what I want.
