New features:

New option to reverse text along a path.
Replacement fonts for this version. Some characters have been relocated to the unicode private area to avoid future conflicts .



The zipped folder contains the plugin and the replacement joined-up fonts.

Download and install the plugin to your plugin folder. Install the fonts into your gimp fonts folder. This version of the filter will not work with the old fonts so I would remove the old plugin and the old fonts from their user folders. I have added 213 to the font names for ease of copying over but this will not appear in their names in your font dialogs within Gimp if you want to use this version.

Here are two links to two solutions that work well when using long dialog boxes, like mine, with your python plugins Other solutions are available:

The reversed text option uses a very simple method for differentiating between paths drawn in a left to right and right to left direction - so it may produce unexpected results with complex paths.

I have appended an illustration to show why I have added the option; you can use the flip transform tool to reverse text - but this will not follow any path you have added (apart from a path that is a straight horizontal line).

Thank you so much Skinnyhouse, for this new version of your script. I like that possibility to get reverse text.

Thanks Issabella - it's certainly not something that would people would need very often - but it's there for whenever.

WOW! You are constantly improving and adding this script! Really nice, Thank you.
