Text in circular shape

Hi,

Is it possible to display text that follows a curved line like say a circle with coding so not bitmapped ?
Now I'm using a dc.drawText command but that is only horizontally.

Kind regards,

You can't rotate the letters, but you can do this:

A sample of the code I used:

function onUpdate(dc) { dc.setColor(Gfx.COLOR_BLUE, Gfx.COLOR_BLACK); //Draw line var offset = 70;…

As far as the face mentioned by jim_m_58, the developer himself says in a reply to a review of his Curved 2 face that he's doing it using fonts.
