A different flavor of Fit Text To Curve?

[Contours]

I doubt if this is possible ... but I've been surprised in the past ... so I have to ask:

Is there a feature to fit text to a curve and maintain its upright "posture"?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't think Xara does this, but CorelDraw does. But it begs the question "How did you do it in your example?"

"How did you do it in your example?"

Thanks for your reply.

I did the example by crafting each character (shear), individually, and then placing them next to one another. It's just not practical to do on a wide basis. If anything needs to change, the line's look just falls apart.

That said, I do like the effect and will probably use it here and there.

Excellent! Page 3 >> Creating Envelopes >> Making Waves ... seems to be spot on what I need!

"Enveloping" (as I now read in the help file) is a whole area of Xara features that I didn't know about.

Thanks for pointing this out.

You're welcome!
