How do you make text circle around a circle???
#8
I don't use Gimp for this. I'm on Linux, I do a lot of annotated screenshots (two to three per day on average) and I use a utility that does screenshots and annotations called KSnip. I love Gimp, and I'm reasonably skilled with it, but KSnip is so much faster. In fact in KSnip you just click things in order with the numbering tool to create the circled numbers.

Otherwise if you want to stick with Gimp, forget ofn-text-along-path that has nothing to do with this.You have two solutions:

  1. You install a font that produces circled numbers
  2. You use two layers: a text layer, and a layer under it (can be common to all numbers) where you put a circle using the paintbrush and large circular brush. It can be useful to enable the image grid so that the text layers and the circles are easily centered with respect to each others. Something like this:
