What’s the secret to align text on the spine?

[Chewmann]

I am struggling to align the text on the spine.  Does anyone have a trick they use to make it work? Rotating the text on 2_DIFF by about 4 degrees gets it close, but then the antialiasing makes the text look different. I’ve wasted too much time on this without success, so I turn to you, the experts.

 

Thanks!

What I'll do for this scenario is first get a straight line aligned across Diff_1 and Diff_2, in it's own separate layer, then use that as a reference "baseline" to align my text.

@AngryEchoSix  That's what I did.  What a royal PITA!!!!!  My first skin didn't turn out too bad IMO.  I am pretty happy with it, but boy did it take a lot of time to get it anywhere near correct!
