Go in scratch buffer, insert (x-list-fonts "*"), put point at the end of
line, eval with C-j, then, as i said before, go to end of output, put
point on ... and hit RET.
You will see the rest of the list.

If you want a better output in scratch buffer:

,----
| (dolist (i (x-list-fonts "*"))
|   (princ i) (terpri))
`----

Put point at end of this expression and hit C-j

Starting with this code you can write your own function to do exactly
what you want if you don't like anything/and/or/icicle.
