Similarly named fonts not recognized

Thanks for getting back to me. That is 2.9 that I have running. I updated with the hopes that might fix the issue.
They are indeed open type fonts and I have them installed in both the default Windows font folder as well as the GIMP font folder. I did try to rename the fonts with FontForge but no luck.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Without the problem font(s), not easy to give any advice, either good or bad.

Installing Gimp 2.9 as a hopeful fix, implies that the problem existed using Gimp 2.8.x

Gimp 2.9 will copy settings from the Gimp 2.8 profile if it exists, so problems might have been transferred.

If feeling brave, you could delete the contents of the font-cache C:\Users\your-name\Appdata\Local\fontconfig\cache
These files https://i.imgur.com/MMZPTE2.jpg take a few precautions, back the cache folder up. If not confident about deleting, do not do it.

Not much point have the same font installed system wide and also in Gimp profile, Does the font work in other applications?

One thing to try, convert the otf to ttf with one of the on-line converters say, https://onlinefontconverter.com/

I do not think renaming the font will have much effect, but since you have FontForge, a rename and generate a ttf file, quick demo
