Path-text orientation.

Choose how glyphs orient along a curve.

Choose whether path text stays upright or turns with the curve. The upper phrase keeps vertical letterforms while the lower phrase follows the changing tangent. Both the path and glyph-orientation setting remain editable.

A prompt to start from

Use Tesseract. On Charcoal, place two broad rising cubic arcs. Set “Stay upright.” along the upper arc with perpendicularToPath=false, keeping every glyph vertical while its baseline follows the curve. Set “Follow the curve.” on the lower arc with perpendicularToPath=true, so letters turn with the tangent. Use 102 px Bone Exposure, thin Sky/Sea traces, and slow first-margin movement. Ensure both phrases remain comfortably on screen from entrance through final hold.

Tesseract plugins and runtime downloads are coming soon.
