I am looking for a replacement for Gimp for simple text layout
All I want to do is print a strip of text down the middle of an A4 page
so I can cut it to size and insert it into the spine of some folders.
It is probably best to think of this as being as a single line in a
large font in landscape format.

Bing, perhaps I should just do it in latex, since I do labels in it
occassionally.
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{rotating}
\begin{document}
\hspace*{1in}\rotatebox{90}{\Huge My Spinal Text}
\end{document}
The \hspace at the start will shift in in towards the centre of the page.
Other than Huge you can use \huge \Large \large and other declarations.
