The general term for this is "Text on a Path" A full drawing program, such as Inkscape can do what you're asking here. You get full (easy) text kerning with it and control over all aspects of what you're wanting to create. An example/primer for this: <http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Text-Path.html> You can scroll down the page to get to the text around a circle bit.
