text on an ellipse, placing bottom text on same radius

[moonliiner]

When placing upright-reading text on the top and bottom of a circle or ellipse, is adjusting the baseline on the bottom text the only way to move it to the bottom of the path so it's on the same radius curve as the top? Depending on the font, eyeballing the baseline adjustment isn't always ideal.

In the attached screenshot, the left example is how the program places the bottom text, on top of the baseline. The right example shows what I'm trying to achieve as well as the baseline adjustment in the Character settings. I'm wondering if there is a command, such as there was in Freehand, to automatically place the bottom text outside of the path so the radius curve matches the top text. (In Freehand I'd just hit return to pop text to the underside of the bottom.)

Hi, I believe you're doing it the best way. As far as I know Affinity doesn't have a way to automatically align text to the top of bottom of curved paths at the same time. I think others have asked for this before, too.
