Try this:  Go to Edit > Preferences > Folders > Fonts, and see if
the system wide fonts directory is listed.  If so, remove it,
restart the GIMP and see if you have /any/ fonts available.  If not,
you can put copies of the fonts you want to use in the GIMP in its
own font directory, and that should do the deed.

It should be possible to reorder the font listing in the GIMP by
renaming the font files, i.e. add 01, 02, etc. to groups you want to
see listed first, second, etc.
