Hi
Gimp only uses maybe 10 fonts and the rest don't have any affect, I added the windows fonts folder in preferences and deleted cached fonts from AppData but no fix.
What's going on?

Also I figured out it only works with fonts that are not in Windows fonts folder...
Monospace and Serif font families were not in Windows fonts folder when I checked.

No replies ??? It is probably more of a your Windows System rather than Gimp. I normally use linux so no Windows expert but Gimp 3.0.6 in a Windows 10 (and 11) VM, and all the fonts are showing. I tried deleting the fontconfig folder as well, no effect when re-scanning fonts. I have had a search around and nothing apart from some old posts.

As a possible long-shot, rename your Gimp user profile ......\AppData\Roaming\GIMP to \AppData\Roaming\GIMP-backup
and start Gimp to make a new default profile and hopefully Gimp will re-scan the Windows fonts. (or maybe not)
