I have a problem in the way text appears in GIMP, I think its related to hinting or anti-aliasing but I have no idea about the cause nor the solution for it.
There is a workaround is available to this problem. Just turn off the anti-aliasing. But the font look very ugly if we turn off that.
Another Solution is just create a file in
sudo gedit /etc/gimp/2.0/fonts.conf
Paste the lines
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit name="rgba" mode="assign">
<const>none</const>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
Save and Close the editor.

Just try this
Dont know whether it will work or not.
