A better font list

[Pat Bensky]

The FONT LIST function gives you a list of the fonts installed on the
system, but it just lists every style available rather than grouping them by
font and style. Is there any way to get a more intelligent list - i.e. I
guess a 2-d array of the fonts and their styles?

For example:
Helvetica Neue
       Light
       Condensed
       Light Italic

etc.

?

imho you have to build that thing by yourself by using a hierarchical
list and using the font names.

cheers,

Matthias,
Yes ... but the names of the fonts as shown in the FONT LIST array do not
seem to accurately reflect the names of the fonts as shown in other
applications ...
