I assumed so, but it could of course have been an error in the file that 
is distributed with GIMP.

Now,

<dir>WINDOWSFONTDIR</dir>

is supposed to work - the WINDOWSFONTDIR is a variable that is 
recognized and replaced with the actual fonts directory value by 
fontconfig when this library reads the file.

Can you put the original line back and check with a tool like Process 
Monitor where the fonts files are being searched?
