Workaround for GIMP2 long font loading during startup

Navigate to %localappdata%\fontconfig\cache

Sort the files by date and check the most recent ones. There should be:

  • some-long-hash (usually 1MB or more)
  • some-long-hash.NEW (usually 1MB or more, slightly bigger that the one above if you added fonts)

Rename someverylongname to someverylongname.OLD

Rename someverylongname.NEW to someverylongname

Restart GIMP2
