The only acceptable parameters I've been able to use are the location, relative to site root, of a font file.

e.g,
$draw->setFont("fonts/arial.ttf");

To get a list of fonts that ImageMagick knows about, enter this from a cmd shell:
convert -list font

if u are looking for the configured/embedded font list
$fontList = \Imagick::queryFonts('*');
foreach ( $fontList as $fontName ) {
echo $fontName . '<br>';
}
