Put on Path
Overview
With the Put on Path command, an Inkscape artist can create text that conforms to a path. There is no way to offset the text to an arbitrary point along the path. Spaces and kerning will work to move the text away from the beginning of the path.
To execute the Put on Path command, create a text object and a path object. Select both objects and choose from the menu. If the text object was created by dragging a text frame, into which the text was then typed or placed, the command must first be executed with the text frame object selected. If in doubt, try the command, and if nothing appears to happen, select the text object and execute the command and try again.
To move the text, select the path object and drag it with the mouse or position it with the keyboard. The text will move with the line or shape it's bound to. Moving the text object will not move the line.
