    var returnList = new List();
    foreach (FontFamily font in list)

        //Instantiate a TypeFace object with the font settings you want to use
        Typeface ltypFace = new Typeface(font, FontStyles.Normal, FontWeights.Normal, FontStretches.Normal);

        //Try to create a GlyphTypeface object from the TypeFace object
        GlyphTypeface lglyphTypeFace;
        if (ltypFace.TryGetGlyphTypeface(out lglyphTypeFace))
        {
            returnList.Add(font);
        }
    }

    return returnList;
}
