Wildgoose 4,200 Posted December 7, 2015 There should be some help topics right in the Help menu within Inkscape. Can't remember if they are links to youtube or not. Basically you either draw a line and then type text on it or you write out your text then manipulate it with one of the tools in the program. If you can't do youtube then you better look and find some downloads tons study. There will be lots of info available. here is a start. If you can't find the search engine called Google you probably will never figure this out so give up now. https://inkscape.org/en/learn/tutorials/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skarekrow 1,842 Posted December 7, 2015 Basically, draw the curve or arched path with the Bezier pen. Type out the text. Select the text and shift select the curve. Then Menu>Text>Put on Path.
