<pre>In GIMP 2.8.2 for Windows and Mac OS X we have the problem, that bitmap fonts
are shown as bold Helvetica-like fonts (on Windows it looks closest to
FixedSys, on Mac to Arial Hebrew). See also
<a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691782">https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691782</a>.
At least the Windows build uses FontConfig 2.9.0.
On several sites I read FontConfig disabled bitmap font support by default a
longer time ago. I tried to reenable it by applying the advices for Linux
analogously to Windows (e.g. copyied C:\Program Files\GIMP
2\etc\fonts\conf.avail\70-yes-bitmaps.conf to ..\conf.d, removed C:\Program
Files\GIMP 2\etc\fonts\conf.avail\70-no-bitmaps.conf, refreshed the font cache
in GIMP and extra restarted GIMP) - nothing helped.</pre>
