Easy way to print text along a curve (NOT a full circle)?

Hey all!  Can someone help me with a function that might enable me to print a text string along a curve?  I don’t need to print around a full circle as most of the posts I’ve found seem to reference that solution, but rather printing a line of text along a slight/gentle curve, with proper spacing and the right amount of rotation for each character.  Make sense?  Think like a curved name on the back of a sports jersey or something like that.

Ideas?

Thanks!
