Can't access a font (FFIL) in Gimp 2.10.14 on macOS Mojave

I have a font that I would like to use in Gimp 2.10.14 on my macOS Mojave 10.14.6. The font shows up fine in Font Book and is available in Pages, but doesn't show up properly in Gimp, i.e. it is listed by name, but with just some sort of generic thumbnail . I located the relevant file, but it had no file extension (Lucida Calligraphy) but it is apparently a font suitcase file. I copied it to the relevant user folder in the Gimp tree structure - /Users/{username}/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.10/fonts, but still no joy.

I just wanted to check if anyone on this forum is able to help.

Unable to install fonts - New Macbook Pro Ventura 13.0.1 Hello, I am not able to install fonts on my new macbook (OS Ventura 13.0.1). I receive the following message: "Fonts not installed Could not install font. This may occur because of efforts to install fonts in files containing no valid fonts. Check your selection and try again." I tried installing both by pressing "install", after clicking the .ttf file, and after dragging the file into Font Book. Neither worked. Would appreciate help. Thanks!
