You need to instantiate the InstalledFontCollection because "Families" is
not a static property.

>>> import clr
>>> clr.AddReference('System.Drawing')
>>> from System.Drawing.Text import InstalledFontCollection
>>> for f in InstalledFontCollection().Families:
...     print f.Name
...     break
...
