Thanks so much! This looks like awesome advice. On my Mac, preferences is actually under the GIMP menu, but then yes: Folders > Fonts. The two "culprit" folders with the fonts I do not want to see are not listed (namely /System/Library/Fonts/ and /Library/Fonts/), but two GIMP folders are. I will experiment with putting fonts into the GIMP folders and see if that will override the default looking into /System/Library/Fonts/ which is the source of unwanted (the folder I cannot change anything in). Also, I cannot rename anything in /System/Library/Fonts but can certainly do so in /Library/Fonts/ and in the two GIMP folders. So I will give that a whirl as well.
