try M-x list-colors-display

I found the following in my dot-emacs file.


;; Fonts for win32

;; (setq w32-enable-synthesized-fonts t)
;; (set-face-font 'italic "-*-Courier New-normal-i-*-*-11-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1")
;; (set-face-font 'bold-italic "-*-Courier New-bold-i-*-*-11-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1")

;;(set-face-font 'default "-outline-Andale Mono-normal-normal-normal-mono-*-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1")

;; Display Windows Fonts
(defun si:win32-dump-fonts (&optional pattern)
  "Insert available font names into current buffer.
When <pattern> is supplied only insert fonts that match <pattern>."
  (interactive)
  (let ((fonts (sort (x-list-fonts (or pattern "*")) 'string< ))
        num)
    (setq num (length fonts))
    (save-excursion
      (while fonts
        (newline )
        (insert (car fonts))
        (setq fonts (cdr fonts)))
      (newline))
    (message "Inserted %d fonts." num)))



hope this helps
