I think ConTeXt can already do this. See page 15 of the Luametafun
manual.
Take a look mat the output of the following example and notice how the
letter make contact on the top, the font applies a transformation and
converts the rectangular shape of the letters to a trapezoid.
Sorry, I can’t see it. I tried different fonts and the older
installation of COW as well as my current one. I measured the scaled up
letters and find them as rectangular as on a straight line.
The font in the ConTeXt example doesn't change the shape of the letters
but the one in your link does. While the changes in the mentioned font
involve more than my simplified version, the shape change is the main
point to have a nicer look of the text along the curved path.
