Text to Path. I draw the curve (bezier), I make some text, I select the text and the curve together with shift-click, I go up to the menu for text and select "text to path"...and absolutely nothing happens.
Watch the statusbar - it usually explains reasons for when something fails.
One current limitation is that you need to create a _regular_ text object to put it on path, not _flowed_ text. This means you need to create the text object by clicking, not by dragging a frame. Or if you already have flowed text, do Text > Unflow on it to convert it to regular text.
I agree it's a stupid limitation, we definitely have to remove it in the next version.
