If you have real problems choosing a font, Windows -> Dockable Dialogues -> Fonts will add a tab.
Then you can easily choose a font from the list. With the text tool open on the canvas and some text, changing a font immediately shows on canvas. Whatever list you have open, (tool options, text tool, fonts dialogue) you should be able to scroll through the list with the mouse wheel.
