I want to put text on a circle, but from left to right instead of the default right to left, I want to use 1 circle only, instead of 2 as the example in the tutorial shows.
Thanks

Text always goes from left to right, at least for English

Are you referring to the tutorial at the bottom of this page - the Inkscape Guide • FAQs • Inkscape Mailing List • Report a bug or request a feature

Re: Text on Outer Circle
A little error by me there
When you put text on a path of a circle, it goes from left to right as default, but I want the bottom half of the circle to go from left to right. In the current conditions the text us upside down.

Re: Text on Outer Circle
Could you not mirror the text (both horizontally and vertically) and then put it along the path? You would have to convert the text to a path and then use the Effects -> Generate from path -> Pattern along path.
I've just tried it and if I understand your question correctly it does what you want.

Re: Text on Outer Circle
If it's something symmetric like a circle. You can put the text on the top then do a flip around the horizon then vertically and it will read the right way.
