If you download the file here http://www.johnallsopp.co.uk/logoTest/*, you'll see I've got text around a circle. The top text is fine, but the bottom text I want to read from left to right.
I've tried all types of transformation, I've tried drawing the circle differently. I haven't tried making a separate path with a matching curve, so I suppose that might work but it's a kludge. Is there a proper way to do this or isn't it possible?
You'll need two circles: one for the text on the top, one for the text on the bottom. Reverse the "direction" of the circle for the bottom text by flipping it horizontally. Note, that the text is put with its bottom along the circle. Thus, you will have to use two different size circles.
- just opening it in Firefox shows no text, I had to save it and open
it in Inkscape.
Firefox 1.5 does not support text on path. Firefox 2 does, but the text is not put in the correct place.
