That's a problem not specific to the GIMP, but system-wide. I've been using an app (called fontypython) that creates symlinks in ~/.fonts and then restarting GIMP (or whatever program) whenever I need to switch fonts out. It would be nice to "rescan" for fonts, though I'm not sure how much work would be involved. I'd love to hear your thoughts...
