Hi everyone,
I want to bend text into shapes such as hourglass, funnel, furled flag
and the like. What is the most efficient and economical software that
could do this? Thanks for your help.

Yeah there is, it is called Photoshop CS2. BUT the learning curve on it is HUGE!

Thanks and O.K...not that I'm afraid of some huge learning, but is there
something with a friendlier/not-so-huge curve? Is something like Font
Twister by Neuber decent or just junk?

I would think that THE GIMP (freeware) would do it since it seems to do most things PS does..
Photoshop little brother "Elements" , Paint shop Pro., Microsoft expression graphic designer, or Paint.net
(These are all under $80.00 or free, there are 100 of cheap good graphic programs that probably would do it, its a matter of weeding them out)
I"d first try: THE GIMP...I hear its good (free to boot)

You'd have to look into each but theres a start..
