I'm probably the only KISS user here! But my problem is rather with the compilation, it doesn't play a role if it's another distribution.
I will try your suggestions. I have already reported the issue to the KISS community, but probably at the moment I'm the only one using it, because it's not packaged!

Hmm, it could be promising. So I discovered pango-list and pango-view. With pango-list all fonts are displayed, with pango-view I can display a text with a given font. It works on my system.  The next question is: is the file app/text/gimpfontfactory.c compiled and without error? I have to compile gimp again and I'll have a look. I'll report what I will see.
