Fit text to path problem GIMP 2.8 Windows XP
Sorry guys - newb question
I've been trying to fit some text to a path, created the path ok, Layers menu | Text along path seems ok, Path along Selection from Paths dialog seems OK, clicked the eye icon next to my path to hide it ok - the text shows correctly fit with the pink stuff around it but when I export to GIF etc. the text which has been fitted along the path isn't visible - same problem if I display the path ...
Am I missing something obvious ?
Thanks in advance

The tool creates a new path from the text after you aligned it to a path. You need to make a selection of that newly created text path and dthen fill it with a certain color...
hope that helps!
