Some fonts (typically: Serif, Sans and Monospace are virtual and are mapped to your default Serif, Sans Serif, and Monospace fonts (historically, Times New Roman, Helvetica and Courier).
What would its own processing do?
In Gimp 3.0 in Sequoia, the first font in Gimp's list is "Sans-Serif." I set a sample in that font and then looked for another font like it. I set the same sample in Tahoma and Verdana and Sans-Serif looks exactly like Verdana. Not Helvetica, not Arial, not San Francisco, not its own "System Font Regular." Why does Gimp use Verdana? Does your Gimp use Verdana as the default sans?
