It's just COM, which pywin32 does perfectly well.  The advantage of COM 
is that you don't need a custom interface.  Did you look at the pyglet 
code that does this?

The easier way would be to read the registry. 
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts" 
is where Windows stores the registered fonts.  The key is the font name, 
the value is the file name.  If there is a file name without a path, it 
defaults to C:\Windows\Fonts.
