Is there an easy way to get a list of the installed fonts on a given system?

Thanks, Gene
I have an overkill solution on my site which parses the FOND resources of
each item in the Fonts folder. By default it returns two lists: font
names
and font family ids. I needed this in order to work with raw style
resources which require the Family Id, not the name.
It can be easily modified to return other information as well (the
template
structure is included in the script. As this type of info probably isn't
required very often I made it to be easily called with run script so no
need to copy and paste.... It returns the two lists with a call to its
run handler.
It does require some additional tools. Programmer's Tool (also on my
site), and Resource Tools by Christopher Hyde. You'll have to get it
from his Dialog Director package on his site as I've never gotten a
response to whether it would be ok to include it on my site.
