    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.

    Codelearner, as a bonus, set the Line Width to none.

    Acorn beat me to the punch but allow me to add that you can also choose the shape tool or line and then choose the color editor and click on the icon on the bottom left of the color editor to set it to no color. Its a step more than changing the line to no width but still useful knowing.
