If you just want to see them yourself then just goto Control Panel>Fonts or C:\Windows\Fonts

If your trying to get AutoIt to get them Im not sure what the commands are but I know the cmd commands are

cd C:\Windows\Fonts

dir

Like this:

#include <file.au3>
#include <array.au3>

Dim $s_FontList = _FileListToArray(@WindowsDir & "\Fonts\","*.ttf")

_ArrayDelete($s_FontList,0)

_ArrayDisplay($s_FontList,"Currently " & UBound($s_FontList) & " Fonts Available on this Machine:")

When I install fonts, I install shortcuts (my fonts collection lives in a different folder altogether)

This listing method would miss those. It also won't give you their proper names.

If it's just to let a user choose a font, checkout _ChooseFont() in Includes/Misc.au3

If you simply want a list, see..

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

hi there !

this is interesting. but both methods (filefind and registry) do not return the font name like it has to be used in guisetfont() and the way _choosefont() does. how can one read out this special font description for a combo box or something like that ?

thx j.
