This new version jumps from 2.00 to 2.05. I kept adding things instead of uploading.
The major changes are displaying the copyright symbol without crashing the filter and adding text size modifiers to further adjust the size of the text along a path.

Download here:



The new features can be seen in this screen-shot of the filter dialog:



Link to post detailing JAZZON's solutions for scrolling py script user interface:

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13714

And an example of the use of the text size modifiers:



In the middle image of the moon each word in the text increases towards the middle of the path and then decreases back to its final size.
In the last image of the moons, each character increases in size towards the middle of the text and than decreases to its final size.

Uploaded late last night in too much of a hurry, so forgot to include this link to an alternative solution for large dialog boxes in python plugins from Bytes and Pixels via Rod. Post #10:

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=14502&p=200197&hilit=scroll+python+interface#p200197

Also forgot to mention that there are no updates to the fonts that the filter requires if you already have them installed. For new users here is a copy of those fonts.



And finally forgot to say that to access the filter use the path:

Filters>>Text FX>>Joined-up Text...

The Text size modifier options can produce some interesting effects.

A lot of scope for playing around with them I hope.

Here are some initial examples that could be quite useful:

Those text modifiers are a nice addition to the filter. Perhaps adding text color modifiers is possible as well? Sort of like a change of hue from beginning to end of text lines.

Sounds good to me.

Rod:

Is this the sort of effect you had in mind?

Oh, that is very nice! Is it possible to add that to the script or how do we add that afterward?

That's already in my working version - not quite ready to release yet.

And a coloured spiral works too.

Exactly what i had in mind.

Only playing a bit. I don't get your nice effects yet. I'll continue...

Rod: Glad we're on the same wave-length.
Issabella: I really like the effect with the peacock. The path on the first image looks really difficult to form text around - I think you did well with it - you're braver that me.

Thank you so much skinnyhouse.
