curved text - yann - 05-26-2020

Hello,
is there a way to make the letters of a text along a path over a half-moon shape keep their proportions without distorting. Because each time the big letters have the outer part much wider. Thank you

You can try Ofnuts plugin ofn-text-along-path.py
from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-path-tools/files/scripts/

Then it depends on your version of Gimp where Gimp 2.10.18 has a bug which prevents changing fonts in the plugin.

Earlier version of Gimp are OK.

This is one of the reasons I wrote the ofn-text-along-path plugin.

Some demo here: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-ofn-text-along-path

This one demonstrates what you are after: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-ofn-text-along-path?pid=3744#pid3744
