That's one of the purposes of the "ChooseFont" common dialog box.  If you
give it the "CF_WYSIWYG" flag, it'll only show you the fonts which are
available on both the screen and the printer.

In general, if you want WYSIWYG, you have to use scalable fonts.  That means
TT fonts on 3.1 and (yuck!) vector fonts on 3.0.  Unless you use a scaleable
font, the Window font mapper will give you the "closest approximation" to
the font you request, which sometimes is *not* terribly close at all!
