Hey Evan,
I don't think there are any WinAPI functions that do this. Basically, when you get down to that level, it's roll your time using EnumFontFamiliesEx and EnumFontFamExProc. The first runs through all the installed fonts on your system. The second is a call back function run for every font found by the Enum function. It receives a pointer to a font structure and you can do anything you want at that time (i.e. populate a listbox with some of the information).

Another suggestion is to use the ShowFont() method of the Common Dialog Control. You could stick the control on a form and initiate its methods (ShowPrinters, ShowFont, ShowColor).

HTH.
