Not sure if this is what you are looking for but you can certainly put text
on a curve (ie a path). You can just not display the path (remove the
<use>)and the text will appear curved but still be animated. Or you can
remove the animation and the text will be static but curved.
Hope this helps.

hi sherm
here is a little script which you could use to adjust the fontsize,
its
not perfect, but maybe you could work of of that.

as to answer your question, i dont think there is no build in way to
render text to curves(only curves to text),
but you can do all types of transformations on textelements as well.
