The best solution indpendant of operating system is to use perl module 
Font::TTF and so it works very nice ;)

Example :

     <FONTS>
       <MANUFACTURER>Apple Computer, Inc.</MANUFACTURER>
       <NAME>LastResort</NAME>
       <VERSION>6.1d6e2 (Unicode version 5.1.0)</VERSION>
     </FONTS>
     <FONTS>
       <MANUFACTURER>Ray Larabie</MANUFACTURER>
       <NAME>Hackensack Regular</NAME>
       <VERSION>4.1d1e2</VERSION>
     </FONTS>

works on MacOSX 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 (versions I have tested 
today) and Windows 7, XP and FreeBSD ^^
