    A little vague aren't we… Is this the kind of arcing you mean? Text along a curve or do you mean distorting into an arch like some plug-in can?

     

    #target illustrator
 
var doc = app.activeDocument;
 
doc.defaultFilled = false, doc.defaultStroked = true;
 
var textPath = doc.pathItems.ellipse( 0, 0, doc.width, doc.height );
 
textPath.pathPoints[3].selected = PathPointSelection.ANCHORPOINT;
 
app.cut();
 
doc.selection = null;
 
app.redraw();
 
var tp = doc.textFrames.pathText( doc.pathItems[0], 0, 0, TextOrientation.HORIZONTAL );
 
tp.textRange.paragraphAttributes.justification = Justification.CENTER;
 
tp.textRange.characterAttributes.size = 60;
 
tp.contents = 'I am in need of ai script…';
 
var tpd = tp.duplicate();
 
tpd.translate( 0, -150 );
 
tpd.textRange.characterAttributes.size = 90;
 
tpd.contents = '…for arcing text?';
