	I don't believe that any of the "simple libraries", such as GD or
IM/GM includes the ability to query fonts available on the OS - since that
type of info is outside their "cross platform" aspects.

	Could you, perhaps, handle that yourself via fontconfig and then use
GD or IM/GM once you have a path to the font in question?
