A quick search and Sequoia come with a multitude of fonts see: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/120414   I think those SF are quote " ...the system fonts of iOS 9 are now changed to the Apple’s new San Francisco fonts, replacing the previous Helvetica Neue."  Also those fonts showing and starting with a dot are duplicates.

I had a similar issue in linux and had to use a font manager to hide many unnecessary fonts.  I understand you can use MacOS FontBook for this.

The SF—"San Francisco"—fonts are the system fonts for Sequoia, but I don't know where they are on the drive and I don't know how Gimp finds them.

Mac has a native font manager, and others can be installed, but they are not allowed to deactivate built-in fonts.

So I don't know where those fonts are, and couldn't hide them if I did. What I want is to tell Gimp not to use them.
