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.
