The following will at least get a list of ANSI fonts and sort them in 
alphabetical order for you:

put fontNames() into varTempPreProcess
put the number of lines of varTempPreProcess into varTemp
put 1 into varCounter
repeat varTemp times
   put line varCounter of varTempPreProcess into varTempFont
   if the fontLanguage of varTempFont is "ANSI" then
     put varTempFont & return after varFontMenuBuild
   end if
   put varCounter + 1 into varCounter
end repeat
sort lines of varFontMenuBuild


the variable "varFontMenuBuild" now holds the sorted list of fonts. 
 From there you can either make your own font dialog, or maybe a menu.

There are probably other ways of doing this, but this is what I have. 
I've only been using Rev since late 2005, so I'm not an old pro at it 
yet like so many others here.  ;-)
