Call up the FontSlab dialog:
Filters>>Custom Font Tools>>FontSlab v0.14-tab...
Normally you will have to find the best sizes using trial and error – using the Undo dock (with your keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Z) or simply by deleting the offending layer.
My settings are shown below. If you are using your own resources then enter values just for the options highlighted in red in the dialog screenshots.
From the first tab on the dialog (Colour & Fonts):
Enter the text; I used the phrase, ‘THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD’.
Choose a custom font; I used Chunky_Soft_Rays.
From the second tab on the dialog (Size & Spacing):
Set the value for the ‘Font size’ option; I used 120.
Set the value for ‘Text size step change’; I used -4.0.
Click on ‘OK’ to commit your choices.

Optional adjustment to letter positioning
If you are not quite satisfied with the outcome - some letters may overlap where a path curve is sharper - there is an option available to add each character as a separate layer which can be selected and moved around independently of the others.
