I normally use linux but if you are using Windows try this (freeware) one
https://www.sttmedia.com/printmyfonts

There is a linux version but it is missing the load fonts facility.
Unfortunately Windows version does not work under WINE. I catalogued the several
hundred google fonts in a Windows Virtual machine. Printing to PDF with A4
pages. example: https://i.imgur.com/maB5UzR.jpg

In Gimp? Add guides to split up the page. There are scripts to add multiple
guides.

Use Image -> Transform -> Guillotine to split into separate images

The attached script will write those separate images to a single PDF. Unzip.
There are two versions, one for Gimp 2.10 (cunning dev's changed the syntax)

The tedious bit, adding each image in the script dialogue.

best of luck
