Hello,
I'm able to do basic text on a path stuff, but I was wondering if it's possible yet in Inkscape to do something like the treatment of the word "Amazing" in this old magazine cover:

In case the link doesn't work, I'd like to make the bottom of my text arch upwards while the top remains more or less flat. Other than doing it manually, can this be done yet with the text to path tool or any other tools?
Thanks,
Matt Jordan
That effect is possible by converting the text to a path and stretching the nodes. At least that is how I would do it. I would like someday for Inkscape to be able to do this sort of thing with the envelope effect. Unfortunately for this type of thing I use Xara to do the text with the mould tool then I export the svg and import back into Inkscape.
