A potentially more viable option, in terms of the plausibility of the resulting curve, would be to obtain a dense list of points from the arcs to be modified, recalculate them using the requested parameters, and create a spline fitted to those points.

I guess the text height value has to be real or integer and not string.

Does anyone want to test setting these 3 variables to the top to the best performing. I notice it a lot better.

This is something that could possibly be done geometrically, but a robust solution would be better done mathematically. I don't know exactly how I would handle it, but it would be a good challenge for some of the better mathematical programmers that are here. EDIT: perhaps this would involve changing the bulge values to the selected segments and the adjacent segments by some inversely proportional amount?
