Text fitting a specific shape

Post by snickers »

Hello !

I'm pretty new to LaTeX but I know you can make your text fit a specific shape with the command \shapepar. I'd need a little text to fit this shape:

I read a long PDF about shapepar but I didnt understand everything because of my lacks in LaTeX. Specifically I dont understand how to use ShapePatch, an utility to convert images into shapes, on my laptop (OS X).
Could somebody explain me how to do that in a few steps ?

Thanks
