I've personally found paint.net to be one of the worst editors for text, I'd make your own in another program, save as PNG or whatever, and then transfer it in. 

 

I really wish Paint.net would add better text support. 

Here is a plugin I use, you can all sorts of text effects.

 

'&do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

I use P.N for all my textures.  The way I have done it is to open a separate blank canvas and drag a large circle or whatever shape curve you're trying to achieve, then make the text in a line and individually select, move and rotate them using the shape in a different layer as a guide.  If you're really having a hard time PM me and I can help you through TeamViewer.  

The easiest way that I have been told is to select one letter at a time and rotate it while selected.

I think you use the rectangular selection tool thingy to select the letter and then there should be a rotate button.

Then, once you are done with that, you select all the text again with the selection tool.

 

I haven't used Paint in forever, but I think that is how you do it.

 

By the way, Google is your friend :D

The question was about Paint.NET, not MS Paint.

Ya. Everyone know MS paint sucks big time.

After finding out about Paint.net, I can't go back to MS paint.

Paint.net has way better color options.

You could try dpyplugins7 '&do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

Here is a tutorial that I copied and pasted from their support forum:

STEP ONE:

type your text on a new layer with a space between each letter (if the font has a nice-sized gap between the letters, you dont need the space)

STEP TWO:

select one letter at a time with the rectangle select tool . the, using the move selected pixels tool , rotate each letter with right click, and move them to where you need them. flatten the image

Glad I could help.

 

I've not used the curved text plugin yet but use the rotate text all the time when re-skinning vehicles
