bending text

[bonnersuk]

I have a line of text and I want to shape the line to fit a custom contour

I cannot tell from that document what you want to do.

Can you give us more information, and explain exactly what you mean by “fit”?

If you can see the image? I want to shape some text around the contours of the snow mounds. I'm not sure if I've attached the image properly? Thanks for reply.

I could see the image but I didn’t know what it was there for or if it was relevant because you didn't say what the "custom contour" was.

When you say “shape some text around the contours”, what do you mean exactly?

Can you draw an approximate shape over the image showing us the area you expect the text to cover after the manipulation?

@bonnersuk, 

If you want something like my attached file, draw the dividing line between sky and earth, click on it with “Artistic Tool”. Click on “Align Centre” in the context bar. On the curve, move the orange triangle to the right end and type the text. Finish by adjusting the position with “Baseline” in the studio's “Character” tab.
The lower part of my screenshot shows what the curve will look like when the text is typed.

If you can see the red line then that is the shape I need the text to follow.

Do as indicated in my previous message, using the red line. Adjust the position of the text with the triangles on the line.
