text manipulation

I'm wondering if photoshop has any options for text manipulation in terms of shape (like having the text run in an arch) or if there is a compatable program I should get if I want to do that? I guess I could do it the hard way and skew each letter separately, but I doubt I could get the letters to fit together quite right. Also, different fonts for photoshop would be cool. I'm using a pc, though, not a mac.
