Remember that you can always position each character independently by kerning keys (alt+arrows).
Increasing the letterspacing creates a slightly better result, but this
is
not exactly the solution I hoped for. (I was looking for a behaviour
similar
to CorelDraw, where it is possible to have the upper side of the text on
the
path.)
This is not possible in SVG, afaik.
I was already afraid of that. I managed to produce a nice looking result with your suggestion of using two circles and adjusting letterspacing. I did some experimenting with CorelDraw and noticed that the letterspacing needed some tweaking also for a nice result.
Also, increasing letterspacing does not seem to work when the text is already on the path. And increasing letterspacing before putting it on
th= e
path makes it difficult to predict the final result (and is a lot of trial-and-error work).
Letterspacing in text-on-path works for me. If it does not for you, please submit a but attaching the bad file (or giving a link to it).
The letterspacing does work with text-on-path. I only needed to enter 'editing text' mode first.
Maybe it would be a good idea to be able to add an alternate way (besides the keys Alt-> and Alt-<) to adjust letterspacing. Because on my keyboard I need to use the shift key already to enter '>'. So I can't use that key for the 10 pixel variant of the key combination anymore. Just an idea.

I believe that on OSX this key combination also doesn't work. I think X11 grabs it before it gets to Inkscape.

I also vote for this. It would be nice to have it in the Text and Font box, which should allow to control all options applied to text.

The Alt key doesn't work at all on MacOS X when using Inkscape. This means that many nice features of Inkscape are impossible to use for lack of an alternate way of performing them.
