We can do a lot with Fonts and custom fonts. In our case we would like to detect if the user has Font Awesome Installed. That way we can let the user know that our plugin needs that specific font. Or another idea is font suggestions from TypeKit. For both plugins/ideas we need to detect the current installed fonts.

Please allow us to have the list of the user installed fonts. I have a plugin finished only waiting for this.
