Fit text to path problem GIMP 2.8 Windows XP

Sorry guys - newb question

I've been trying to fit some text to a path, created the path ok, Layers menu
| Text along path seems ok, Path along Selection from Paths dialog seems OK,
clicked the eye icon next to my path to hide it ok - the text shows correctly
fit with the pink stuff around it but when I export to GIF etc. the text which
has been fitted along the path isn't visible - same problem if I display the
path ...

Am I missing something obvious ?

Thanks in advance

The tool creates a new path from the text after you aligned it to a path. You
need to make a selection of that newly created text path and dthen fill it
with a certain color...

hope that helps!
