    Default

    i could "recreate the wheel " and make a gimp and text tutorial

    BUT
    just type this into google search
    "gimp tutorial curved text"
    the second hit is a video
    -- warning - a very thick Russian( ish) ? ascent
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XULoT5rTCYE


    basically make a new transparent layer
    place the text on that

    and use the layer select tool
    example
    the first is normal, the second one is "Divide"



    but
    the advantage of Inkscape is that the text IS A SVG!!!! layer
    that SVG part is very important ( Scalable Vector Graphic )


    as to a "glow" gimp has a built in "Alien Glow" ( as in the movies )
    it is in the "alpha to logo" scm section of the filters
    the color is adjustable

    but the GREEN can be fun
    -- example a "splash screen" i use for the program Celestia , this is a EXTREME glow and very 1979
