Anyone with information on how to programmatically read information from/for
fonts. I'm planning on doing a font manager (I've got some 17000+ font's
that needs sorting).

Look for EnumFonts and related functions in the Win API. You may also need AddFontResourceEx etc. for not permanently installed fonts.

I'll do it with Lazarus which is Delphi compliant on Linux.

The Win API will be of little use under Linux. If you want to use your program there, better ask in a Linux group.
