That effect is possible by converting the text to a path and stretching the nodes. At least that is
how I would do it. I would like someday for Inkscape to be able to do this sort of thing with the
envelope effect. Unfortunately for this type of thing I use Xara to do the text with the mould tool
then I export the svg and import back into Inkscape.
