Converting vectors into usable text

Post by mzongkers »

I am using Aspire 8.0. I have a project that requires a 4 word saying to be cut out in 17 different languages but it needs to be wrapped around a specific radius. I am using google translate in order to get the translations and I am able to copy and paste that into aspire where it then becomes normal vectors. My problem is aspire does not let me treat those vectors like text. I would like to use the text bending tool like you could using one of the programs standard fonts in the text tool. Does anyone know if there is a way to convert those vectors or to bend them as a group of vectors around a curve? Maybe another program that I could use in order to bend the sayings and then transfer into aspire as vectors? Anything helps.

Thanks
