3D Text and Fonts

Here is an even simpler approach that does not use an external program,
… nor need to write an external font list file:

module SomeAuthor
  module Fonts

    require 'win32/registry'

    extend self

    MACHINE ||= Win32::Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    FONTKEY ||= 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts'
    
    def get_fonts
      MACHINE.open(FONTKEY) do |fontkey|
        fontlist = []
        fontkey.each_value { |name, type, data|
          name.delete_suffix!(' (TrueType)')
          fontlist << name 
        }
        fontlist
      end
    end ###

  end # submodule Fonts
end # toplevel namespace
