I am trying to curve text to a circle. This has worked excellent until recently. I am running GIMP 2.10.20 on a Windows 10 64-bit machine. I'm 1) creating a circle, 2) select to path, 3) creating the text (Sans-Serif, 29 px) and 4) text along path. Changing font doesn't seem to help much. Any suggestions or answers as to why this is happening is welcome.
See above for the direct solution to your problem.
A completely different solution is to use my ofn-text-along-path script. Unlike the original TaP algorithm, that move ancors one by one and distortss letters, my own moves/tilts characters as a whole so they are never distorted. Italso feature a lot of functionality that makes producing curverd text a lot easier that with the original Gimp function.
See here for details and examples.
