jrpeteo Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Another nice one Dan. I realy like these plaques you make. I've been playing in Inkscape and having some luck with the "text on path" but I can't figure out how to put text inside like where "veteran" is on yours. Do you know of a tutorial that shows how to put text on the top or bottom, inside or outside? I end up with backwards and upside down letters. Thanks for any help....

Pete I have to do them myself inside the circle, sometimes 1 letter at a time or the whole word, then bend it using the path effect editor after I have made the the word "object to path", then I can manipulate the word how I need it, hope this helps ya a little, I don't know of using text to path for that......sorry. I'm sure there is a way, I just don't know either. Edited August 11, 2013 by smitty0312 jrpeteo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazingkevin Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 A person that does lettering is alright in my book ! Lettering just hits me the right way I don't know why but i'm intrigued with it.I'm very impressed with this display of letterings ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
