ofn-text-along-path
#9
I notice that t-a-p does something incorrectly: when it lays out the text, it considers the character boxes. This means the character boxes are flush with the beginning/end of the path, but the characters, which usually are a bit inside the box, are not. A picture being worth 2¹⁰ words, you get the blue path below instead of the red one (the guide paths both go from one vertical guide to the other).

   

Now, the big question. Is there any use for the current wrong behavior (margins are of course kept where necessary) and should I leave it as an option (more complex code, more parameters, more doc) or should the code stick to correct behavior (a user can always shorten the path if necessary...)?
