Microsoft Paint has been marked for death:
The era of Microsoft Paint appears to be coming to an end with the upcoming release of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. The image-editing application is officially being classified by Microsoft as a "deprecated feature," as noted by The Guardian. That means that, come this fall, Paint will "not be in active development and might be removed in future releases."
I go hard in the paint.

From the linked page:
Strange. I see all the installed fonts in Gimp (just checked). Maybe it's a problem only of the Windows version (I'm using Linux), or a problem only of earlier versions (I've got 2.8.10), or a problem with your specific installation.

I'd have to look to see what version I'm running, but using native fonts in Linux and not Windows is logical, especially since many Windows fonts may have trademark, copyright, patent, or other baggage that open source is free of. Strange, though, because both Open Office and Libre Office use Windows fonts.
Lulu's cover designer has the same "few fonts" problem, but fortunately I don't need their fonts except on the book's spine.
