No, it can't be adjusted (not easily). While GIMP's text features are improved in 2.6, you're still better off creating text along paths using Inkscape and then importing the SVG into GIMP. In Inkscape you can adjust kerning and character position directly on the path in a WYSIWYG fashion. It's actually pretty easy to do (and I'm no Inkscape expert - I hardly ever use it). I have an article on this subject (integrating GIMP with other desktop tools) coming out in either April or May in Linux Format (UK magazine, available in the US sometime after publication in Europe), assuming I have their publication timetable correct. -- Michael J.
