Hi Michael,
nice MAPline trick. However it should be rather safe to use a T1 Font by font.T1font(<t1file instance>, <afmfile instance>). In the future we'll likely provide an official "text-without-TeX" feature. For the moment (to use the correct PyX Logo) I added some textpath functionality to the texrunner.text return value. See changeset 3230.
Best,
André
