There is this thread also about slow loading fonts. https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Window...workaround. Was for Gimp 2.8 and early Gimp 2.10 but worth a try. As far as I know loading fonts is fixed in Gimp 2.10.12
If you disable the your Gimp profile C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\ (rename to ...\2.10-bak) and start Gimp. Does anything improve, after the new default profile is made.
Do you have a lot of additional fonts installed in Windows fonts?
Most probably a broken font. Does the photograph .xcf already contain a text layer? If so, do you know the font used in the photograph? There are ways of finding the name of the font even if it no longer exists.
