curving a selection in a layer
#7
This is Saul Goode's Warp Text script from here: http://chiselapp.com/user/saulgoode/repo...pt-fu/home Sometimes the site is down so I will attach it anyway as a zip. Unzip put in your scripts folder.

It is very-very slow and some fonts do fail.  The script registers in Filters -> Distorts -> Warp Text

Set up a canvas with the text layer and I advise some guides to keep uniformity.
Make a 4 point path envelope for the shape in the order top-left / top-right / bottom-right / bottom-left, and start the script. https://i.imgur.com/kaq89qm.jpg
It can be slow, looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/wwOD4Uj.jpg Go and have a cup of coffee.
Eventually, you get a new path, the deformed text: https://i.imgur.com/QegJlpJ.jpg
Path to selection and colour in as required: https://i.imgur.com/iL3my5T.jpg

Debian is a pain. Have you considered a flatpak Gimp ? That comes with python.
