Drawing a String on an Arc Path

thanks for your help, i just tried the code, and i customized it to draw the text a long a curve, i just didn't know the actual use of (CharacterRange), i changed the Random numbers to get the Curve look, but still didn't know what (CharacterRange) do! if u can plz explain a little to me.

I just posted this example, maybe it will help. http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/Drawing_Text_Strings.asp

You could use the SetMeasurableCharacterRanges and MeasureCharacterRanges to calculate the rectangles of each character in the string, then offset these along the curve you choose.
