There are new Shape tools in 17 that may answer this.

The new R17 shape tools don't really do that, at least not yet. You can't use a text+ as an *input* for the shape system, nor is there a special "sText" node designed to work with shapes. They also don't read any kind of outside vector graphics. You could, however use text+ nodes to affect the *output* of the shape system.

But you can make outline text animation using the shading tab of the text+ node.
