Gimp 1.x uses different font system than newer gtk2 programs and doesn't
see same fonts other Gnome/KDE programs do.

If you installed your fonts to ~/.fonts, open terminal and try this:
cd .fonts
mkfontscale
mkfontdir
xset +fp /home/your_account/.fonts

You have do xset-command every time you log in and mkfontstuff if you
install new fonts.

But really, consider installing new Gimp 2.0.0 from gimp.org (You'll
need some additional libraries from freshrpms with their .rpm.)
