Help required with "put on path" - text orientation within a circle
I am trying to put text into a circle with the "put on path" command
Problem I am having, is the orientation of the text.
I have two areas of text, one text line I want to put on the top of the circle but inside of the circle, with the text orientated upwards.
The second line is to go on the lower portion of the circle (again inside), again with text orientated upwards.
I created both lines separately.
When I put the first line on, it aligns to the outside of the circle, is there any way of selection so that it will align to the inside of the circle, which just saves the step of resizing the text to fit the inner portion of the circle.
My real problem is with the 2nd line. It also will align itself to the outside of the circle. When I rotate the text to the bottom of the circle, it ends up upside down (or facing downwards) rather then upwards which I require. I tried inverting the text horizontally before using put on path command, but it looks like the that formatting is eliminated when the line is fitted to the circle as the result is the same.
Any assistance you can provide this novice with Inkscape would be appreciated.
Regards
Bill Kerr

I too had this problem, can you share your solution?

I am not sure if original sender of mail will send what he has found out, but if you are interested, I've had similar problem too and created a visual tutorial that you can find at: http://blog.vybiral.info/my_files/helps/tutorial.png
I know it is not perfect but maybe it can help you too. The trick is to subtract 2 circles and put text on this kind of path to get text in right direction. (maybe Path - Switch will be required before putting text to circle too).
