How to get 2d intead of 3d path for text

[jeffn]

Hi, all. I am a new gimper (first gimp post) and I have watched videos and attempted to bend text to a simple curved path. In the videos and tutorials, the text does exactly that. When I do it, the text bends as if around a 3d cylinder instead of simply maintaining one font size around a 2d curve. I assume there must be some simple setting but I can't seem to find it and I have googled everything I can think of for an answer but haven't found it anywhere. Your help would be appreciated immensely. Thank you.

Can you show what you start with and what you get? (see here if you don't know how to attach images).
