Hi
I'm new here so hello. I can't find any posting guidelines, so apologies if I transgress any boundaries.
I've looked in the help, the wiki, the faq, and several in the Linux User Group have had a go at this, and we can't work it out.
If you download the file here http://www.johnallsopp.co.uk/logoTest/*, you'll see I've got text around a circle. The top text is fine, but the bottom text I want to read from left to right.
I've tried all types of transformation, I've tried drawing the circle differently. I haven't tried making a separate path with a matching curve, so I suppose that might work but it's a kludge. Is there a proper way to do this or isn't it possible?
Thanks in advance. J

You'll need two circles: one for the text on the top, one for the text on the bottom. Reverse the "direction" of the circle for the bottom text by flipping it horizontally. Note, that the text is put with its bottom along the circle. Thus, you will have to use two different size circles.

Firefox 1.5 does not support text on path. Firefox 2 does, but the text is not put in the correct place.
