exporting text to pdf

I'm trying to build the covers of a set of five books. Each cover contains an image and some text, i.e. the author's name and the book title.

The image is correct when I export it to jpg or png, but the text is wrongly rendered when I export to pdf. Not always, in fact: three covers are OK. In the fourth one, the first two letters of the author's name are set in a smaller body. In the fifth cover, two lines of the title are placed to high, and covert the author's name, and the third line of the title is missing.

I cannot understand what occurs, and what characteristics of the cover triggers what seems to be a bug. I'm using GIMP 2.8 on Ubuntu 12.10. Has anybody already encountered such a problem?

Hello Oliver,

I haven't seen this bug on my System. But I have two workarounds for you: 1. Flatter all layers and then export to pdf. 2. Use Scribus for adding the text. Scribus has an very good PDF export.

Regards Tobias
