I am currently using Type allign on a 5mg SE/30 with ATM and find it
satisfactory. Yes, it will let you give a curve and bind type to the
curve. The baisc curve is apparently part of a circular arc, but you can
also draw a freehand curve. I find this hard to do in a smooth fashion,
but after much tweaking, it can look good. It's not as easy as a post
dcript progam like Cricket Graph, but the price is right. (btq, I am
using a Personal LW SC for output.)
