Turn text around.
#9
Your screenshots bring up some questions.

   

In Gimp 
  • Using a text layer (abcdef)  and Layer -> Text along Path  The path is named abcdef and your screenshot shows Path. Did you re-name the path or is the path from some other application?
  • The circular path (s) are on the base of the text path. Not impossible with Gimp but normally the path is central. Did you add (Selection#1) later?
  • Are there any text layers? To add matching text you need to know the font and the font size.
For this particular case I think better to use Ofnuts Text-Along-Path plugin. get it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-pat...s/scripts/ about 10 down the list. Unzip and put ofn-text-along-path.py in your user plug-ins folder.

   

That will let you create a text path using (1) the path (Selection#1 in your image) (2) Text using specified font and size) (3) Position of the text path relative to the circular path. (4) Flip the path, no need to use the Gimp Flip tool 
You get a new path, somewhere on the circle, rotate it into position and possibly a little move for final adjustment.
