It turns out that the correct solution IS to create a file called local.conf in
\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\etc\fonts - although Mario dismissed that in his post
above.
Apparently, you should not edit fonts.conf (as suggested above) because it is a
dynamically generated file and will be replaced
Bloomin Forum software has mangled the file format I posted! It removes
anything that looks like HTML. So, if I replace less-than and greater-than
signs with square brackets, then maybe I can get away with it:
[?xml version=1.0?]
[!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM fonts.dtd]
[fontconfig]
[!--
Hmm... I don't have that conf.d directory. Is there anything in it? I don't
know enough about GIMP to explain that, someone else here might.
I also have a conf.d folder and would also like a solution to this. I would
like to change the location of the font cache folder.
Thanks

I've had this problem myself. I'm going to make a guess here - you
automatically clear out your temp folder on reboot? Or have it on a ram-disk
or something similar?
Gimp stores it's font cache, by default, under the system temp folder. So, if
the temp folder is cleared on reboot, fonts are
In the GIMP-2.0\etc\fonts there is already a directory called conf.d
All my attempts to put your cachedir line somewhere failed: in
local.conf, under my user directory.
Any suggestion?

You could edit the etc\fonts\fonts.conf to add the cachedir line above or
instead of the existing cachedirWINDOWSTEMPDIR_FONTCONFIG_CACHE/cachedir

Got that, disabling fonts seems too hacky. I am thinking if there is another
way to solve that

The GIMP is the only program I'm aware of that allows you to specify an
extra, alternative font directory.
Oh,

Hi,
When I start up my GIMP in windows, it indexes the fonts every first time that
I start after a reboot.
I am using windows 7, is there anyway to tell gimp not to index the fonts ?
Best regards,

Gimp should take time to index the fonts only once
then process should be much quicker
