Welcome to the forum!

Wow, that is a request I have not seen before!  I'll have to make some experiments, since I don't already have any ideas.  I'll post back soon  :)

Edit
So you actually want the letter A to be grossly deformed in the arch shape?  Have you seen this done somewhere?  I mean, can you show us what it's supposed to look like in the end??  Experimenting....

Ok, I have at least one possible way to do it - assuming I correctly understand what you want.

The aqua object in the back is just an arch, to show the shape.  They yellow one is using a letter A that is shaped like what you showed.  I also tried it with a more blocky type of font, which I think looks better.  That's the green one.

If that's anything close to what you want, I'll explain how to do it, using Pattern Along Path.

Or is something like this more what you were thinking of?
