Unfortunately Brade this is known problem with ME. ALso, you wouldnt want to have more especially if yo udont have GBs and GBs of memory availalble since all the fonts are lodaded into the memory where they reside all of the time.
I am a professional designer and i never had to use more than 800 at once... if you have to have more. Get rid of some of the fonts that you dont like.

Thanks. Actually I checked around a few sites via Google and found that this is in fact a common problem with Windows like you said (not sure if XP or 2000 corrects it in any way). Fonts have only one registry key, which takes up 64k, and so you can only install between 1000-1300 at any given time. BUT I found this excellent program called "The Font Thing" which can be downloaded here:

It's truly a great program. You can have all your fonts on your system (in a folder that you create) and you can easily browse thru them to see which ones you want to install or uninstall at any given time. You can see this program got a 92% approval, I used it last night and found it excellent. It lets you preview any sentence you write with multiple fonts at once. Personally I think you should create a prominent link to this, as anyone who downloads that 2000-font zip file will run into problems otherwise.
So I unzip and paste those 2000 font files. Windows seems to be copying them over w/ no problem. However, only about 1000 of them end up actually there for use in programs. (For instance, the fonts starting with letters A-D take up about 3/4 of my Fonts folder because the rest refuse to install.) I've tried a few different methods of copying and still it stays at 1030 "active" fonts. Is there any way to get around this in Windows ME?
