Is it possible to draw text that follows a path like you can with SVG? I built an SVG page that management wants converted to .NET; I am having a hard time achieving the same functionality. If you have an SVG viewer (http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/main.html), here is the code I am trying to convert (kinda long). Copy and save as *.svg: -------------------------------------------------------------- <svg width="900" height="450" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
