Rather than set a -pointsize and using text:
Set a -size appropriate for your image, and use label: or caption:
instead, and IM will adjust the text to fit the pixel size you specify.
EG:
convert -font courier -size 120x100 po.gif \
caption:@textfile -compose multiply \
-page A4 -density 200 -composite po.pdf
For more info see IM Examples, Text and Caption
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/#label
You can also use -gravity to center the text line-by-line (if set before
the caption: or label: or just left alligned but centered on image if
set after caption: or label: but before the -composite oprator.

As for the change. send me an example, of it before and after and I'll
see if I can figure out what is going on.
Note -page and -density does effect text: but also the pdf: output.
This may be what is going on. Set the settings before the intended
operator, and reset them afetrward if it effects other operators.
