I can do text along path, but wasn't there an instruction somewhere that showed how to make the text even wit, in the path? Right now I have to either do trial and error with making the path different sizes for the text to fit, or add spaces here and there to make it centered. I want to do a path that is oval, not circular so I can't just rotate it. Another question I had was, was there also an instruction on how to have the text somewhat perspective so the bottom of the text was right on the path, and the top of the text was slightly spread out so it was in a perspective from the center out.

I can only think of:

Ofnuts plugin that has a centering option

text-along-path-0.4.py about 10 down. Find it right-click-context in the paths dock.

and "text somewhat perspective" could be Saul Goodes script warp-text but you have to make a suitable envelope path

Thank you, I do believe both of those are what I am looking for.
