Thank you all so much! I wish all forums were this friendly and helpful. I was gone on a field trip today, so in the morning I'm going to try a variety of things: Opening the path so it's not a loop - I don't need text at the bottom, anyway. Putting all the text on one line Reducing the amount of text At any rate, I think that with this project I will be troubleshooting all of my students' projects. I really appreciate Steve Kinney's suggestions. I think I will go with that. It looks better than my idea, anyway! And I plan on downloading Inkscape for my own personal use. I don't think I can get it loaded on 20 computers by the end of the semester, but it might be helpful in the future. Thank you all so much!

But I did use less text and put it all on one line, and I got half of my path filled before it cut out. So I'm going with the Intersperse a Portrait with Text tutorial that Steve suggested at http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/create-text-portrait Thanks! -- Astabeth (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Text Along Path Trouble
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I am using 2.8.2 on my school Windows computer. I created a path, used the text tool to type in my text, highlighted the text, opened the paths tab and made my path visible and highlighted, and then right clicked and selected text to path. Instead of putting my text along the path, this is what it does: http://imgur.com/3ZZ6GDC (I am going to try to attach it). It creates a whole new path and puts the text on it. I have never had any path except the one (visible in blue) around the person's head.

Did you enter newlines/linebreaks in the text editor? If so, get rid of them. You might consider exporting the image and path to Inkscape, and setting the text there.

[Gimp-user] Text Along Path Trouble
It looks to me like it _is_ putting the text along the path, but in 11 or 12 lines. Did you enter newlines/linebreaks in the text editor? If so, get rid of them. There are no new lines or breaks. It is not putting it on the path. The path is a closed loop that outlines the face and head and runs along the bottom of the edge. There are no breaks in the text. If you look at the paths menu you see that a second path has been added. You might consider exporting the image and path to Inkscape, and setting the text there. I've had more luck using Inkscape for text along paths: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Text-Path.html I have seen several recommendations for Inkscape here, but I am a high school art teacher trying to teach my students to use GIMP, so an Inkscape solution won't help me. This is so frustrating because this was going to be their first assignment where they have to have personal meaning rather than just using their interests. -- Astabeth (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
