Thank you so far, the Tutorials come up quicker than I can trying them out. The Text tool needs an overhaul, don't you think? It's a bit stubborn and sometimes unpredictable in its results. I wish gimp had an layer effects dialog like PS had. There are most effects, like emboss and drop shadow, all in one dialog. I will trying the text to path tutorial later today, maybe I get it to work and letting you know. Have a nice one.
