Yes, it does do a list of the font on your system, but it won't help much for someone trying to find a particular font just going on a someone' else's description. Back in the day when I actually sent out camera ready and postscript to get books printed, I'd marvel at the lengths to which my editor and the senior writers would dsicuss/argue the merits of one face over another for a particular use. Then someone would grab the damned font books off the shelf and things would get loud.

Now that many docs are distributed in PDF or in html/help formats, the only thing that's changed is that now the software makes it easier to change the faces. There are still massive arguements ;-)

Finding fonts, especially display faces can be damned hard.
