You could try looking in C:\Windows\WinSxS although AFAIK the fonts there are all system fonts, but who knows.

That Farm House font? Commercial? All I could find was a $13 download so not able to check. As Blighty wrote, the internal font name(s) usually different to the file name.
Otherwise, are you using some sort of font provision service ? These seem to use their own cache.
F:\Program Files\GIMP 2\var\cache\fontconfig\<longname>-x86_64.cache-7 contains a reference of C:/WINDOWS/fonts/FarmHouse Regular.otf and related fonts, although the fonts are no longer anywhere other than a holding directory off my working area in Users\QuinB\Documents\.
There's nothing obvious off the WinSxS tree; I dropped to a system permissions command line and checked manually, in the end.
Farm House is commercial, but try https://www.1001fonts.com/nubian-font.htm, which just happens to be on the screen right now and showing the original 'system font only' problem. Interestingly, Nubian Regular is not present in C:\Windows\Fonts, but Nubian Shadow Regular IS. Stored copies show that the filename and font name are both sensible.
Whatever it is I've broken, it's a good 'un.
Font provision service: no. I import ad hoc fonts to a specific holding area, extract and then tidy away with inhouse batch files.
