The purpose of this group of options was to help focus attention on an area of the text along the path; it was not really intended for use with single words or short phrases but rules are meant to be broken.
There is a pdf version of this guide:

Unpack the resources folder and save it to your preferred location. The path files should be imported to the images (I used a new image size of 1000x800) you create for this project.
Fire up the Gimp and add a bowed path to your image either by using the path tool or by importing the relevant path file from the path tool dock.
Call up the FontSlab dialog:
Filters>>Custom Font Tools>>FontSlab v0.14-tab
Choose the custom font that you intend using.
Enter your text.
Set ‘Use text modifiers to ‘Yes’ and enter values for the initial, target and final text sizes. The values I used for my path and custom font were 35, 100 and 35.
You may need to alter the length of the path (and/or the modifier values) if your own text does not fit your path.
Optionally, set ‘Rotate letters’ to ‘Yes’.
