All,
To list all installed fonts:

-- create an empty font cast member
fontMember = new(#font)

-- retrieve a list of font on the system
fontList = fontMember.fontList()


To list all *recordable* outline fonts (those that can be inserted into a Director 
movie):

-- create an empty font cast member
fontMember = new(#font)

-- retrieve a list of recordable outline fonts
fontList = fontMember.outlineFontList()

If you want a sample file using the outlineFontList() command then peep this:

Undoc'd features may not continue to exist across releases and they haven't been given 
complete testing (that's why they're undoc'd), but my experience with these commands 
has involved nothing but success, and if you're distributing in a projector you're not 
so worried about having the given command(s) exist in future releases. Before 
believing me or using the above information *please* read my lil' undoc'd disclaimer 
found here:

<http://www.shockwavemovies.com/undocd/default.htm>

It's all about covering my a** and making sure I don't get in trouble for letting 
y'all in on the inside secrets I'm aware of.

Cheers,
Tom "bean spiller" Higgins
