Elyse,
If you had the Fonts window open when you issued the function call, I'd guess that the reason it didn't show immediately afterwards is that the window hadn't been refreshed. When you select View/Refresh, the fonts list is reloaded. When you call the fonts list from within an application, it loads the list when you call the dialog.
