What you ask for is not easily doable. If the Registry names do not match (which can happen sometimes), there is no other way straight-forward means to match up given font names to their associated filenames. You will just have to enumerate the OS's Fonts folder directly and parse the font files themselves manually, extracting their names one at a time until you find what you are looking for. You can get the file specs for the TrueType format from Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/typography) or Wotsit (http://www.wotsit.org). Gambit
