So far no problem. But when I repeat this for the bottom part of the
text
(and a copy of the circle), the direction of the text is shown in the
wro= ng
direction (clockwise like the text on top). I can get the orientation
rig= ht
by flipping the circle horizontally, but now the text is inside the
circl= e.
Just scale the second circle up so that the text inside it matches the top text (i.e. its top is on the same imaginary circle as the bottom of the top text). You may need to increase letterspacing a bit for it to look good.
Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't look as nice as the text on top. Increasing the letterspacing creates a slightly better result, but this is not exactly the solution I hoped for. (I was looking for a behaviour similar to CorelDraw, where it is possible to have the upper side of the text on the path.)
Also, increasing letterspacing does not seem to work when the text is already on the path. And increasing letterspacing before putting it on the path makes it difficult to predict the final result (and is a lot of trial-and-error work).
