Title: Curved text
Post by: TuckerBoy2000 on March 20, 2021, 11:16:36 am

Steve, or anyone else, I am trying to curve text on the bottom. I am able to do curved text for the top of a circle, but not the bottom. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Johnny

I use Inkscape.

To figure out how to put on circle a good video is here.  https://youtu.be/XFFZXgBtNlg (https://youtu.be/XFFZXgBtNlg)

There are many more but I like on you tube but I like Logos by Nick or Davies  Media.

If not a circle look for the video about putting text on curve.  https://youtu.be/3q0HGoeLCmw (https://youtu.be/3q0HGoeLCmw)

Once you get the text the way you want it then convert the text to a path and union your path to the bottom.

If you want to post the pattern and text I will give it a try.

Thanks Don,

I will give Inkscape a try after watching the video you posted.
