I have a lot of fancy fonts but they are unusable with "text along a path".
How to choose a font to have a correct result?

Could you attach one of the unusable fonts here. A free one, not a commercial one. |

this is not expected behaviour and i don think its because of the font do you have more than one path in your paths-tab ? try making an elliptical selection, convert it into a path and put the text on the circle |

Agree with Konstantin, Gimp 2.10.12 Windows10. Used the Inkfree font. Built-in Text along Path.  ofn-text-along-path.py

You really need the paths dialogue open to see what happens. Example: Attachment: 01-along.jpg [ 84.72 KiB | Viewed 2403 times ] Make some text (1) and an active path (2) The text along path produces a new path (3) Attachment: 02-along.jpg [ 73.25 KiB | Viewed 2403 times ] Some new text (or the same as before) (4) The active path (5) is now the path created from the previous text-along-path (or probably from a Text-to-Path) and the new text is rendered on that path (6) In this case trying to use a 'A' and 'L' You need to change the active path to something suitable. |

Your weird results come from your using the text path as the "path". In Text-Along-Path, you use the current text layer, and give the "guide" path (no need to do text-to-path first). |

I think I had to make a mistake as indicated by ofnuts and although having only one path in the paths tab, it had to stay in memory. But now it's over and thank you all.
