Hi,
I am developing an application using PHP and MySQL. I need to populate a drop down with the list of available fonts, how do I find out the list of available fonts? The purpose of this feature is, the user would enter a text and select a color and font type for this text to be displayed on the front-end. Managed to find a way out to pick colors, but need help with the fonts. Any help on this will be appreciated.

Thanks

I think the simple answer to this is "You can't", and, to be honest, you wouldn't really want to.

Remeber that everyone that views the page will have to have that font installed on their system or it will just show up as the default.

Just provide a drop-down of the 'usuals' (Arial, Times, Hellectivia, etc.) - that should do the trick.
