Does anyone else think that text applied along a curve looks wrong?
It seems to me like the left side of each character is perpendicular to the curve rather than the centre line of the character. Things look odd when I engrave them. Anyone know of a work around please?
Cheers, Martin.

Will look into. You're right in that we are positioning wrt left corner when we should be positioning wrt center of char.

Thanks for the heads up on this one. I made the fix in 802. As you noted,it makes a big difference where the alignment occurs. The top image is 802, the bottom image is 801.

Thanks again

Tim
