    Pressing F1 could help sometimes. I found this:

    Remarks

    Before you use the ShowFont method, you must set the Flags property of the CommonDialog control to one of three constants or values: cdlCFBoth or &H3, cdlCFPrinterFonts or &H2, or cdlCFScreenFonts or &H1. If you don't set Flags, a message box is displayed advising you that "There are no fonts installed," and a run-time error occurs.

    Basically what they're saying is the you must set the Flags property to either PrinterFonts, ScreenFonts or both before you can display the dialog. The values of setting them are listed in Frans C's post.
