Text "on" curve

[csehz]

Hi, can you please someone advise if there is a Line which is higher/wider than a Text, how to do a Text "on" curve from that?



The normal text to curve option putting the text higher, I would like to put the text exactly in the center over the line (without manual adjustments)

I don't think the text on curve has such and option

other than nudging [assuming uniform curve], with the text on a cloned transparent curve, not sure how you would do that

I think manual adjustment of a sort is your only option...

A combination of a negative baseline shift with a bit of easing via tracking if the letters bunch up too much.

As Ampa as said csehz, do your normal text to curve and then use baseline shift to centre text on line. You can then alter the text size or line size to suite. In the image I altered the line size

either way a be a bit fiddly

Thanks the advices, well that does not make me calmer but so more eyes got the the same conclusion.

Did finally with that transparent curve but it is not natural too much

[stygg2003]

Why did you use transparency when you could use Ctrl+ click to alter text line and line colour or perhaps I'm missing something here Knew it would have to do with football

Stygg it is always something with football

But seriously, the transparent line meant that okay so had those coloured sections and if not possible to adjust automatically the text to them, then the text curved to a transparent line and not to the main coloured lines

Well its worked ok csehz, nice layout of football table.

Thanks Stygg but unfortunately these manual adjustments or leaving the things on eye measure are not too reliable. For example putting an orange rectangle down and up of the text just for a short measurement, there is slightly more space on the right side.



Of course can be fixed but better if the computer would calculate these and not my mouse, or nudge or etc. So just only that is why asked for long term if will meet with such case
