I went through and cleaned a whole load of fonts out of my Windows 8 system -

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?


Hazy memory (I have not used Windows recently) but look for a "fontcache" directory somewhere in your "Application Data" directory tree. Then remove it. Next Gimp startup will take a while rebuilding it, looking at the existing system fonts.
