I may or may not be able to help, but for starters we need a little more information to be able to diagnose the problem.

First of all, what operating system are you using?

Also, you said there are some other fonts that aren't working. Even if you never use them, it might be helpful to ask what distinguishes all the fonts that don't work from those that do. E.g., do they all come from the same foundry? Are they all in the same directory? And so on ..

i'm using gimp 2.3.13 on Linux and it works perfectly (just copied the font files to my /home/myfolder/.gimp-2.3/fonts/. Try looking better because though the font name is evanescent in Gimp it is under "Typeface (C) Draftlight/Aerin ..."
