Yes, why not? :-) Allthough I did a lecture at university about
Postscript, this didn't come into my mind. I'm aware now that 
PS can be used to draw the circles as well, and do the clipping
of the drawing inside the inner circle. Maybe it can even to
the outlines of the letters, this seems to depend on the text
font used.

Thank you, I will keep this in mind, as well as the solution
based on Inkscape.
