Distorted text following path
#10
Well carmen, It does improve it. Although enlarged it does still have defects.

   

Of course the solution is a better original path, ofnuts plugin or even the old shape-path script
And a better solution in this case - do not use blocks of text with line breaks - use single lines of text.

So I will bow to your superior knowledge. Just going to try your simple experiment, looks interesting. So does your problem of text for a map. 

As an old civil engineer, always had an interest in maps. Just had to pull up a UK OS map to see how they do it. Must have the same problem, not curved. Although in other names there is a change of direction between words. 

   

edit: As you wrote, tracing a (short) 2 control point path gives a good result.
