This is a bug (clearly!). I didn't catch it in my tests because it
only arises when you get an OSError on a win32 registry call, which I
never got.  I believe Paul lifted this section of the code from
ttfquery.  For a quick fix, in the win32InstalledFonts function, try
replacing

        try:
            local = _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, fontdir)
        except OSError:
            pass

with 

        try:
            local = _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, fontdir)
        except OSError:
            continue

and let me know how things go.

Paul, is the continue the correct behavior here?

Thanks for the report,
