Except fc-list, even if it exists on Mac OS X, won't necessarily contain a listing of the system-installed fonts. Wait. Maybe it will. (It seems to on my machine.)
I'm slightly more comfortable at this stage with just using the standard font directories; perhaps later we can think about using fc-list as well (or instead).

Yep, that's working well now.
Even though it's not as important now, I still think it would be a good idea to include the check for no extension:
local ext = match(line,"^.+%.([^/\\]-)$") or ""
ext = lower(ext)
