text following a curve

["Matthew L. Avizinis" <ml...@gleim.com>]

Hello,
Is there any way to make text follow a curve (like the text on the rim of a
tire) in SVG other than to put insert one letter at a time and aligning each
letter individually?
Suggestions are very welcome,

Hi, Matthew-

There sure is. You can use a <textpath>, which allows you to define a shape
using the <path> element, and have the text follow along smoothly. You can
see an example at:
