[Inkscape-user] Wanted: Corel-DRAW-like envelope that does not deform the upper and lower borders

Hi all,

I am trying to reproduce this effect - http://www.shlomifish.org/art/bk2hp/ - that I originally did in Corel-DRAW using Inkscape. Now, for that I used an envelope effect that construed the text like so:

----------------------- \ | \ | | | / | / | -----------------------

And later on applied perspective. However, when I attempt to do it using Inkscape, I get some deformation/mutation at the top and bottom like so - http://imgur.com/SdUWXA6 and don't want that.

I've been considering to implement my own transformation on the points of the path using this equation - https://github.com/shlomif/Shlomi-Fish-Back-to-my-Homepage-Logo/blob/master/... ,

but I hope to avoid it. Can anyone give me any leads?

Regards,

Shlomi Fish
