You can display the available fonts in a WYSIWYG fashion.

Answer:

Start a new project, add a TListBox, in the Form´s OnCreate event code: 
1   
2   procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
3   begin
4     ListBox1.Items := Screen.Fonts;
5   end;


Set the ListBox´s style property to lbOwnerDrawVariable and finally and the 
following code to the ListBox´s OnDrawItem and OnMeasureItem events 
6   
7   procedure TForm1.ListBox1MeasureItem(Control: TWinControl; Index: Integer;
8     var Height: Integer);
9   var
10    h: integer;
11  begin
12    with Control as TListBox do
13    begin
14      Canvas.Font.Name := Items[Index];
15      h := Canvas.TextHeight(Items[Index]);
16    end;
17    Height := h;
18  end;
19  
20  procedure TForm1.ListBox1DrawItem(Control: TWinControl; Index: Integer;
21    Rect: TRect; State: TOwnerDrawState);
22  begin
23    with Control as TListBox do
24    begin
25      Canvas.Font.Name := Items[Index];
26      Canvas.FillRect(Rect);
27      Canvas.TextOut(Rect.Left, Rect.Top, Items[Index]);
28    end;
29  end;
