Text on Path - the "Superman" effect

[maho]

Hi guys,

I've got a specific Text on Path effect I'm trying to create - which is based upon the classic Superman comics:

The text should run between two curved vector paths, governing the top and bottom of the text. Most importantly, the vertical lines in the text remain vertical, and the horizontal lines are curved to match the two vector paths.

Is there any way to do this in PL?

- Create Text layer
- Create Vector path layer by "Curve Creation" or any other vector tool. You can adjust shape later.
- In Text Tool Settings enable "Run on Path" and "Distort"
- In Text Tool Settings Extended enable "Don't Rotate" (this will keep letters always vertical) and set start and end size.
