In order to determine available fonts through ASP you'd need to give
additional permissions to the web user. I highly recommend against that.

Instead, if the fonts change regularly, run a script server-side to
process the same font listing from the fonts directory (or any other)
that updates a database that the web user would have access to. Then
check *that* database for available fonts from within your ASP pages.

I've written several tools in the past that do all of this and much
more, but some are under NDA and others are only partially finished
projects.

I can tell you that it's MUCH easier to use ASP.NET (instead of ASP) to
generate images and what-not using server-side stored fonts. It's also
BETTER if you are trying to create some form of font library if the
fonts are NOT stored in the Windows Fonts directory (if they're stored
in the Windows Fonts folder they affect performance server-wide - don't
do that!).

PHP and ASP.net are relatively equal in features and functionality in
this respect, but PHP uses less memory (and is usually cheaper to host),
and ASP.NET has fewer requirements (no external libs required).
