@strila, If you are happy with rasterised text, then I created a macro to do what you want. Here is the link to my posting.

Thanks @John Rostron!

Quick & Dirty

1. Convert to curves
2. Rotate each character for best fit (use transform panel)
3. Cheat (just a tiny bit)

While not exactly what I am looking for, the effect is better than what I came up with originally. Thanks for thinking along!

Yes exactly!

Not that it should matter, but did you have a special reason for using that particular font?

 

No special reason, it's in my font library and bold enough for this logo I am creating.

Hi @G13RL!

Yep that's what I figured out as well. The original question is still there though

Hi PixelPest, 

Thanks! I have shared the AD file with that layer. Yours does look better, the characters seem to be centre aligned there.

edit: I have changed the Horizontal Scale of the text back to 100% and now it matches your example. The original question remains though: Is there something that I can do so that all characters are actually following the line of the curve? I mean that characters are somewhat arched?

Hi!

I am creating a fantasy football logo for a friend and I want to add the team name as text on a path. That works, but all individual letters stay the same and they do not follow that path individually. Is there something that I can do so that all characters are actually following the line of the curve?

 

Thanks for helping!
