When I deactivate this font (which will have to be manually and GIMP needs to be restarted) I will have to remember to add it to this group (Ex1) in the filter again in the future, as it will have been removed when deactivated.
This complicates font management in GIMP. But the truth is that I haven't found anything better.
Not much you can do about keeping tags once a font is removed. It is not always necessary to restart Gimp.
This no better than other ways, just an example. A bit of a struggle to get it into a minute

What it shows
Using Freecommander (there are other file managers) copy a font (right side) to the Gimp font folder (left side)
Using that font in Gimp, finish and close the file.
The font no longer needed but Windows stops the user deleting the file (file is open..message)
You can delete it in a terminal del /f name-of-font.ttf or with a wild card del /f *.ttf
The font still shows in Gimp - refresh the fonts
