(Even if they had worked they'd be less than ideal, as I cannot hand-tweak the text along the path the way I can with the above solution.) UPDATE: A couple more failures that are worth noting. But that is not important for this question.) I will then insert spaces and use Alt-left/right to add kerning. Shift+click of the path, so they are both selected. Path|Reverse (so the text goes on the inside rather than outside).Used circle tool to make an arc (set fill color to none).Dragged the vertical arrow to stretch it out.Is there a way to keep the stretched appearance when applying it to path? Or is there a workaround? it makes the T higher, but makes the g wider!) (Stretching vertically after assigning to the path does not apply the stretch to each glyph consistently.
I can stretch the text, but when I wrap it to the path it jumps back to its default size. I've got a short piece of text, and I want to stretch it out vertically, and then wrap it round a path.
