You can link a text object as pattern to the 'pattern along path'

Then, you can stack the envelope deformation LPE on top of it, to

the text. The attached file shows how this works. This is sort of a workaround for the inability to apply LPEs directly on texts. Warning: it is a bit slow but... it does work pretty cool :-) I guess we should start working on enabling LPEs directly on text.
This functionality is present in 0.47.
Sorry I just see some regular text and a slanted line and I really don't understand what you said above. What is an LPE?
Are you sure you have 0.47? For me it loads fine, and shows the regular text and the same text but then small on one side and big on the other.
I think I need a more in depth explanation sorry. Don't know Inkscape that well.
Have a look here: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Paths-LivePathEffects.html
Yes actually it does work I guess I didn't wait long enough.
I'll see if I can figure it out.
Thanks
