How do you write text inside a shape to fit the shape?

Asked by David A Boughton

I would like to put text in an oval object so it forms to the object. Like a button or brand.

Hi David,

this could mean several things, I'm not sure which one you want.

There's 'Text on Path':

Bending letters with the node tool:

Using envelope deformation path effect:

Hope these hints will get you going!
