Cairo: How to create path-warped text?

Question

I would like my text in Cairo to follow a drawn path. Something similar to this.

Now this link comes from a post in the Cairo mailing list that claims to have coded this already. Only the link to the code is on svn.gnome.org which seems to have been taken down. My question is, does anybody know if this cairotwisted code referred to in the mailing list post is still around? If not, can somebody please give me some guidelines on how to do it?

I'm using the lua API to Cairo.

Answer 1

It appears cairiotwisted.c that's being referred to in the mailing list is available here at github.
