That looks like one of the "Fixed" fonts shipped with the X-Server.

Since Gimp no longer uses the X11-mechanisms for font selection it no
longer shows up in the font dialog. You need to somehow convince
fontconfig to provide that font as well. I currently cannot tell you ad
hoc how to achieve that.
