Paragraph of text in circle using CSS [duplicate]

Question 1

Eric Meyer's book "Eric Meyer on CSS" talks about this (Project 10) and the text wrap solutions that you found use the same principle.

Using a simple border-radius: 50% does not affect the shape of the content box, which are rectangular at this time. For example, see the demo by Kyle Sevenoaks.

There is a CSS3 module under development that addresses this issue:

http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-shapes

However, this spec is still in draft mode and not currently supported, probably a year or two out.

The short answer is no, but hopefully the comments will provide some insight.

Question 2

hi i think without js i think this is not possible so use js and css3

.badge {
  position: relative;
  width: 400px;
  border-radius: 50%;
  -webkit-transform: rotate(-50deg);
  -moz-transform: rotate(-50deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(-50deg);
  -o-transform: rotate(-50deg);
  transform: rotate(-50deg);
}

h1 span {
  font: 26px Monaco, MonoSpace;
  height: 200px;
  position: absolute;
  width: 20px;
  left: 0;
  top: 0;
  -webkit-transform-origin: bottom center;
  -moz-transform-origin: bottom center;
  -ms-transform-origin: bottom center;
  -o-transform-origin: bottom center;
  transform-origin: bottom center;
}

.char1 {
  -webkit-transform: rotate(6deg);
  -moz-transform: rotate(6deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(6deg);
  -o-transform: rotate(6deg);
  transform: rotate(6deg);
}

.char2 {
  -webkit-transform: rotate(12deg);
  -moz-transform: rotate(12deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(12deg);
  -o-transform: rotate(12deg);
  transform: rotate(12deg);
}

      body {
        margin: 0px;
        padding: 0px;

        var len = str.length, s;
        context.save();
        context.translate(centerX, centerY);
        context.rotate(-1 * angle / 2);
        context.rotate(-1 * (angle / len) / 2);
        for(var n = 0; n < len; n++) {
          context.rotate(angle / len);
          context.save();
          context.translate(0, -1 * radius);
          s = str[n];
          context.fillText(s, 0, 0);
          context.restore();
        }
        context.restore();
      }
      var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas'), 
        context = canvas.getContext('2d'),
        centerX = canvas.width / 2,
        centerY = canvas.height - 30,
        angle = Math.PI * 0.8,
        radius = 150;

      context.font = '30pt Calibri';
      context.textAlign = 'center';
      context.fillStyle = 'blue';
      context.strokeStyle = 'blue';
      context.lineWidth = 4;
      drawTextAlongArc(context, 'Text along arc path', centerX, centerY, radius, angle);

      // draw circle underneath text
      context.arc(centerX, centerY, radius - 10, 0, 2 * Math.PI, false);
      context.stroke();
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

Question 4

an orignal (?)...cover!

    function writeInCircle(phrase, cx, cy, fontSize) {
        var num = phrase.length
        var r = num * fontSize / 6
        var d = $("<div>").addClass("writeInCircle").appendTo("body")
        $(d).css({position:"absolute",
                   width: (2*r) + "px",
                  height: (2*r) + "px",
                  left: (cx-r) + "px",
                  top:  (cy-r) + "px"})
        for (var i=0; i < num; i++) {
           var s = $("<span>").html( phrase.charAt(i)).appendTo(d)
           a = i/num *2*Math.PI
           var x = cx   + r*Math.cos(a) 
           var y = cy  + r*Math.sin(a)
           $(s).css({"position":"absolute",
                 left: x + "px", top: y + "px",
                 "fontSize": fontSize, "transform":"rotate(" + a + "rad)" })
           console.log(z.charAt(i) + " " + x + "," + y)
        }
    }

Question 5

The most applicable answer I found can be located here:

It's easier to use this method and then just hide the overflow / use text that fits rather than overflowing.

Cut out shape (triangle) from div and show background behind
