[Gimp-user] Unused fonts

[TimH <forums gimpusers com>]

I went through and cleaned a whole load of fonts out of my Windows 8 system -
including a lot of system fonts. That change is not reflected in GIMP, which
persists in showing me the old system fonts including the non-western languages,
which, being a Westerner, I do not use. I can confirm that they are not in my
windows system fonts directory. I can also confirm that there are no folders
listed under Edit - Preferences - Folders - Fonts.

So where are these font references stored. I'm talking about fonts like Batang -
which, when I select it, does not display Batang font, just Western. Are they
hard coded in GIMP somewhere? Does GIMP pick up what's installed when it itself
is installed, and then never forget them?
