Seems like the well-known font related problem. The jury is still out
as to what the root cause for this is. What you could do (I haven't
actually tried it myself, but don't see why it shouldn't work...) is
to make a new folder somewhere, and copy only those TrueType fonts
(.ttf files) you would want to use in GIMP from your Windows fonts
folder to that new folder. Then edit the etc\fonts\fonts.conf file and
in the "<dir>WINDOWSFONTDIR</dir>" line replace WINDOWSFONTDIR with
the path to your new folder. You probably should also remove a
.fonts.cache-1 file you might have in your "home" folder.
