There are snags with the Gimp 2.10 PDF export. Still somewhat work-in-progress. As above it will export a multipage PDF however
- Text layers become separate pages
- Layer groups are rendered as separate pages.

The solution of course is merge any text with the appropriate layer and merge any layer group to a single layer.
---------
Text information not 100% embedded on a single page. Typical scenario, a cover for an ebook. Only a single page needed so it can be built up with layers and text. If using a font that is only available on your computer do not expect other people to see it. It will be replaced by the system default font.
This using a font in Gimp fonts folder but not available to the PDF viewer. That would also apply to a commercial printer..
The solution, flatten the image to a single layer before exporting.

Just a note for anyone using Inkscape for similar work. The latest beta Inkscape version 1 (yes it has finally made v1) Correctly embeds the font information into the image. (at least that is what I found).
