A book cover.

Hi, in this page, which is the cover for a book (plus a bookmark), the four-pointed star on the spine appears displaced when I print it. It should appear between the title and the author name, but appears overlapping the title. Note that I print to PDF.

extraction of sample document as FODT

From meta of the ODT, build info is LibreOffice/6.2.2.2$Linux_X86_64 LibreOffice_project/5daaa0e719eb4f073b63de04e0910785ad81fe7a

But confirmed on Windows 10 Home x64 en-US (1809) with

Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: cb523c9b12dce59e2df00a4fb1a8ec33e8206407
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win;

Attaching an extraction of the column layout of just the rotated Text Box used for the spine, note the Gentium Book Basic will receive fall back. But the text span holding the U+2726 BLACK FOUR POINTED STAR glyph will receive fallback.

The glyph is in a text span different from author & title strings, also a font change--so not too suprising it get mispositioned. Draw Text Boxes, particularly when rotated, are error prone.

For OP, work around would be the separate the three strings into 3 separate Text Boxes--rotate the author and title. But not the start. That should fix the anchors for all.
