Text rendering when exporting to PDF has spacing removed, is bolded, occaisonally in wrong place

GIMP version: 2.10

Operating System: Windows 10

Package: Installer from gimp.org

Trying to export a PDF resume and I noticed an issue I was having with GIMP 2.8, so I updated to 2.10 but the same issue persists. On screen in GIMP, the text looks fine, however when exporting to PDF the text becomes extremely compacted as if all or most of the leading (letter spacing) is removed. This exported result doesn't change even if I increase the actual letter spacing in the file.

Also, the text itself renders bolder than what appears in the GIMP file. As a designer, this is a really serious issue.

Additionally when exporting, sometimes certain text is rendered in the wrong place seemingly at random, but it tends to render the text in the same wrong spot when exporting to a PDF multiple times.

It renders wrong in Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Acrobat.

Is the bug reproducible? [Always]

Reproduction steps:

1.Create new file 2.Create text 3.Export to PDF

…

Expected result: Text to render appropriately

Actual result: Text renders with letter spacing reduced or removed and text appears to be bolder than when viewing in GIMP itself, sometimes in the wrong place
