    Default How to make curved text?

    How do you make curved text in Xara, for example in Affinity Designer you plots points for the characters to follow, I can't find a similar tool in Xara?

    There is a lot you can learn about it (use Fred's search function) but the starting point is: create a curved line, type a line of text, select both and click Arrange/Fit Text to Curve.

    As Fred deleted his tip, copy & paste the following into the search bar of your browser: text on a curve site:https://www.talkgraphics.com

    Thank you, Boy!

    I intended to add more, i.e., text on a closed circle and I didn't realize I had deleted the post until I got alerted that there were new posts.
