here's one way to do it (using Tkinter):
>>> import Tkinter, tkFont
>>> tk = Tkinter.Tk()
>>> tkFont.families()
('System', 'Terminal', 'Fixedsys', 'Roman', 'Script', 'Modern', 'Small Fonts',
'MS Serif', ...)
here's another way (using PIL):
import os
from PIL import ImageFont
fontdir = os.path.join(os.environ["windir"], "fonts")
for fontfile in os.listdir(fontdir):
try:
font = ImageFont.truetype(os.path.join(fontdir, fontfile), 1)
except IOError:
pass
else:
print font.font.family, font.font.style
(this prints a list of family/style combinations). You can get PIL from
http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ (1.1.4)
http://effbot.org/downloads/#pil (1.1.5 betas)
