Javascript/CSS detect browser fonts

Was looking for a script that detects the browser’s available/installed fonts and came up with this final result.

Original idea found at lalit.org

The original code I found did not work properly for my browser, it detected more fonts than actually available. I’m using Firefox 3.0.6 (Ubuntu 8.04).

This is a modified and working example that returns only the fonts that are actually available and returns adds them to a drop down / select box:

Good Fonts:
Bad Fonts:

Select a font.
