JavE's Camelize tool can be very useful for doing this.
It's original intend was to make ascii-art by formating provided textinput.
Here's a repost of a picture of mine that uses one of the variations that the
Camelize tool can provide :
:I'm:: ::scared:: Dave.:I:can :feel: :my:: mind:going.
::I'm::: ::::: ::::: ::::: afraid.: :I'm: ::::: :::::
:::: ::: :afraid,: Dave.:Dave. :my: mind :is:: ::::: ::::
going.::::I :can: feel:it.:I can::::feel :it.: :my:: mind
is::::going. :::: :::: there is::::::::no ::::: ::question::
:::: :::: :::: :::: about:it. :I:: can: feel:it.
This text is from "2001 - A Space Odyssey"
The original text was hard to fit so I choose to fill the spaces as you see,
but you don't have to do that.
Draw the shape you want the text to fit and then copy the text into Jave and
select it.
Then start the Camelize tool, load the image and play with the options.
