Does the Text Layout Framework support arched text, or other uses of text along a path which is not straight? If not, is it a planned feature? Thank you!

TLF does not support text on a path. I don't know about future plans, I'm afraid.

You could do something like this, by puting each character in its own TextLine and arranging the TextLines yourself.

Hello,

For what it is worth, I will have an example of this in an article I am currently writing for O'Reilly. Unfortunately, it is not quite finished yet (a few more weeks). I will try to remember and post an example here.

Or if you want to keep track, you will be able to link to it from this article: http://www.insideria.com/2009/03/flash-text-engine.html where the text currently says "deserves an article of its own". In fact, you can use that article to do what you are looking for. Yes put each character on its own textLine.
