Are you using MS Windows?  The best thing I've heard of is Adobe Type
Align, which basically lets you define an arbitrary path for the type
to follow.  It's not available for Windows quite yet, but should be
soon.  If you're using MS-DOS and don't have a Postscript printer, you
should think about getting MS Windows and Adobe Type Manager.  ATM lets
you use Type 1 postscript fonts.  I've seen Windows and ATM bundled
together for around $140. (you must have Windows in order to use ATM
or Type Align on a pc-compatible, if I haven't made that clear)
