With X-Fonter, you can create an awesome font book (in HTM).
It may not be updated until the next Windows version, or never, but it is bug free and well working.

It's not freeware, but FontExpert can export to html, creating images of each font, and can use templates for the page.

This one shows me a list of fonts, but not the names of the associated font files. Anyway, this is better than nothing. It does not let me export the list to a text file, but I can make faststone capture take a screenshot of the list, and put it through an OCR.

that's not so good then.. however try this - The Font Thing. you can browse and add the fonts into a 'collection' (see fig. 1). for each collection, a text file is generated with the fonts name and its corresponding filename in a CSV-like manner (see fig. 2). you just need to change the file's extension to something other than the default 'TFT'.

ACall:
FontOrg and RedEars's FontRenamer are free and make an excellent combo.
You may want to try FontOrg's List function.
Both can be found in the download section over at: http://fontorg.us/default.html

List Button

List creates an HTML document in the Source Folder named FontOrg.html. It will look similar to the following example. Each font name is a hyperlink allowing you to click on it and open the font in the Windows font viewer.

FontOrg: It is supposed to do the job, but curiously, it wont. Even if I tick the "use internal font names" box.

The Font Thingie: It won't install... Some 16-bit work-system mumbo-jumbo says its installer. I don't have the win95 compatibility mode on my xp installation for some reason, so can't try it.

FontExpert: Highly polished program with some advanced functions. Its html list function can more than do the job. Find duplicate fonts function is also nice. Not free though.

Nexusfont: Nope, it's not created for my intent in mind.

X-Fonter: This one lets you place each font in a collection of your choice, and saves such collections in text files with a curious extension. Just changing the extension to txt gives you a list like this:

hede.ttf|Times New Roman
hodo.ttf|Arial
gak.ttf|Comic Sans MS
guk.ttf|Verdana
...

So it does the job neatly. But $35? I sent the programmers an e-mail offering one-tenth as a donation. I'll see what they'll say.

Thanks again for all your suggestions, I wouldn't be able to find a solution if it weren't for your recommendations.
