The list of installed fonts in in OS2.INI at PM_Fonts. Who would have
thunk it?

This will give you the names of the font files. All the font
characteristics are stored in the font files are easily accesssible from a
PM application. I don't know if anyone has built a REXX DLL to provide
this access.

You might want to look at FontFolder. It will probably do the reporting
you want.
