what function or how do you get your text rotated like that along a curve?

Make your text with TextObject (curves)
(if you use a regular editable text block this will not work)
Draw a line under the text
Draw a circle whose circumference is about the same as the line length
Call the Rhino command Flow
Use the options copy=yes, rigid=yes, stretch=yes
Select the beginning of the line as the base curve
Select the circle as the target curve
Your text will flow around the circle.

If you have History on, the originals and the copies are related. If you scale or edit the circle or the text, the result will update. You may need to experiment with the placement of the seam on the circle, the curve directions and different scales to get the result you want.
