These are the standard fonts that I have found so far that come with this engine.

"Curl-Roman"
"Haeberli"
"Inja"
"Ligon-Bold"
"Ligon-Roman"
"Mod"
"Pix3"

Most of them are not too great but they are the only ones that come by default.  There are ways to convert other fonts so that you can use them.  I haven't converted any yet so I don't know for sure how well it works.
