@ofnuts
could you possibly add a tooltip to the 'Height Reference' ?!
Every time i want to use the plug-in, i have to figure out what 'Baseline', 'Top of Box' or 'Middle Of Caps' means (i know its explained in the doc).
'Middle of capital letters' would be clearer for example.
And 'Top of Bounding Box'.
RE: ofn-text-along-path request - Ofnuts - 02-14-2018
I can change the labels, but the tooltips aren't provided for in the automatic parameter dialogs. "Baseline" is "baseline", though. OPen to suggestions to replace "Height reference", but tht should be three words (or 4 short ones).

Im fine with 'Height Reference', i just wish for something more intuitive, that i can understand without having to look it up every time i use the plug-in.
How about:
Baseline
Top Of Bounding Box
Bottom Of Bounding Box
Middle Of Bounding Box
Top Of Capital Letters
Middle Of Capital Letters

Why is it that the bounding box of text is bigger than the text itself ?
Or does it use the biggest letter as an absolute ?

Yes, likely related to the bigger letters (and any diacritics over them). I think that the idea is that if you stack the bounding boxes vertically, you obtain the "natural" line spacing.
