Try making your image at a very high DPI, say 1200 for text.
Or, when you scale down, make it 1200 or 2400 DPI.
Or, my choice, use a free vector editor like Inkscape and a hi-rez image
behind the text at final size.

Subject: [Gimp-user] Scaling an image down without ruining the text
Hi,
I have an image that is currently 2590 x 344. It is a footer image to be
used in
auto generated letters for a bespoke CRM system that is currently being
developed. The required dimensions for the image are 790 x 115.
Unfortunately, when I scale the image down to these dimensions, the text
included on the image degrades and becomes completely unreadable. The entire
image also loses quality which isn't really acceptable, I need it to retain
the
quality and the text to remain legible when scaling the image down.
Hope someone can help me out!
