Use text in grasshopper for engraving

Hello world,

For several weeks I've been trying to use or reinvent a text function that will allow me to customize an engraving inside my rings.

I try to play with text tag and text tag3D but nothing convincing!

I mean they are "dead" things, impossible to bend it or use it as curve/surface to extrude.

I wonder if the right solution would not be to recreate each character in time as curve.

Then to call each letter throught a pannel ?!

For that I think I'll need the tree function and I'm not really ok with that.

How would you solve this problem if it were yours?

Thanks, Paul

Hello,

Here is my work based on Tom's code.
Somthing went wrong when bending and I don't understand why...
Do you have an idea?

Mirror the text (yz),

It has to do with how the surface is being created.

Thanks for this Marios.
I had not paid attention to that.

My real problem is that the text is much larger when rolled.
He no longer holds onto the ring as you can see on attached picture.
