Guys
BTW, can anyone tell me if I can choose where on the path to start the text? And can I subsequently move it along the path? (If, for example, I was trying to arrange text symmetrically about the top of a circle? Or to a specific point on *any* path?)
I *believe* that Inkscape does not yet support that. However, SVG 1.1 does provide a mechanism to specify the start offset, and work is progressing that could get it in soon. Not sure if it would hit 0.42, but it's definitely being worked on.
Oh, and if you don't see it in there already, you should probably enter a bug for not supporting the start offset with text on a path (technically it's the 'startOffset' attribute of the 'textPath' element that's being ignored)
