Converting fonts to curves/paths

Does anybody know how to easily convert fonts to curves or paths.

Cheers

Gene,

"...Layer>Type>Convert to Shape..."

Then what?

then what what? then you have paths.

Dave

"...then you have paths..."

Then what?...move and rotate each letter (path component)separately to conform to a curve? I would hope Gene had something more up his sleeve. Or perhaps I'm misreading the original question and it is not that admittedly worn-out objective of placing text onto a curve.

Then what?

Then you can manipulate the bezier curves with your selection, pen, and anchor point tools like in an illustration program. I think that's what he was asking for, but hopefully if it's not he'll come back and clarify for us.

Dear George:

He asked about conVERTING,
not conFORMING.

"...perhaps I'm misreading..."

Yes.
