Text Along Path Problem

[Ofnuts]

This is because T-A-P lays the characters using the path direction... but the catch is that there is nothing that shows you the path direction... If the circle is centered in your image, you can flip the path (Filp tool in Path mode) or even the whole image (Image>Transform>Flip..., but do this before you add the text layer)) either vertically or horizontally to change the direction of the path.

To make your life simpler, on http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-pat...s/scripts/ you will find:

• ofn-path-edits, that reverse the direction of selected strokes in a path (among other things)
  
• ofn-text-along-path, that has a reverse option (so you don't need to reverse the path), as well as other
  options that you could find useful (such as centering the text in the path...)]
  
• ofn-path-to-shape, that can create circles with a know start point
