I do not know this version of emacs, but under the standard emacs, you 
can get a list of the fonts seen by emacs by evaluating the following 
expression:

(print (x-list-fonts "*") (current-buffer))

(to evaluate an expression, type it in a buffer, place the cursor right 
after it and Press C-x C-e)
