you have to download the fonts into your computer - gimp doesn't come with fonts, no program does - usually some come preinstalled with the OS.

dafont.com (http://www.dafont.com/)
1001 Free Fonts - Download Free Fonts - Free Windows and Mac Fonts (http://www.1001freefonts.com/)

you can download a few from the sites above - download and install.

No, no programs come with good fonts. You download them onto your computer.
1001fonts.com is pretty good. I get all my fonts there.

1. Save your font either on your desktop or in a folder named 'Fonts' so it's easy to find.

2. Since your font is in a zip folder right click it and press 'Extract All'.

3. Select the destination for the extraction and hit 'Ok'.

4. Open the extracted folder.

5. Open the 'Fonts' folder that's under the control panel.

6. Click the font you just extracted and drag it to the font folder you just opened.

7. Your font will install. Enjoy :]
