• Does it matter how the envelope, two stroke, four node path is made? No, what counts is the result
  
• Can you make two paths then merge down? Yes
  
• Does it matter the order of the nodes? left-to-right, top-path then bottom-path No, normally the script sorts that out, athough EsperMachine has found a case where is doesn't and should have
  
• Is the text path created before the envelope path? Does it matter? Not at all
  
  

I created the envelope in the following in one go. (shift-click to start a new node) order of the nodes shown. With trace back

invalid top path position for x https://i.imgur.com/NBuLhAM.jpg: It could be that "GIMP" has a tangent handle beyond x=592. So if's outside of the X range ot the top path and the script can find how that maps. What is the font used? I can't see exactly the X coordinate for the right hand of the top path... I can confirm if you attach the XCF.

ambiguous position https://i.imgur.com/fNrXmTb.jpg I am ready to bet that the tangent control point from point 2 is above the one from point 3 (see below). So, theoretically the two curves could cross. This is a check I can relax a bit, I don't think the code would really crash if the curves intersect, you would just get strange results.

   

Please keep a version of these files so that we can check that the code updates fix the problems.
