- One caveat: If you have more than 255 fonts (I think - it might be
- like 254 or something) Word will not display all of them, and the
- order in which in includes or rejects them seems to be random.
- Apparently Word only uses an unsigned byte to store font number in. I
- really hope they fix that in whatever release is next, 'cause I've
- bought a library of 300-someodd fonts, and having to delete 70 of them
- from the font list kind of sucked. (Not that I want to use 300 fonts
- in one document, but it would be nice to have them all available
- rather than going "Yeah, I think such and such a font is what we
- wanted... let's reinstall it!")
-
- Oh yeah, and for the original poster....

- Far as I know, it's under Control Panel/Desktop in Win3.1.
