Congratulations on finding that you have too many fonts on your system (Microsoft KNOWN BUG). I wish MS could pin down what the max number is so I could just delete a few fonts. Fortunately for me I have a dual-boot (win95/NT4) and when I need to change a lot of fonts on forms I reboot under NT Workstation 4 where I only have a couple of dozen fonts (not 400+) installed. The only other alternative is to programatically do it with ASELOBJ() (i.e. your own builder). Join the club. > Subject: Visual FoxPro - Too many fonts in VFP/Win95?

When I deactivated most of my fonts (I had a lot installed), it worked. > > Is there any way around this limitation? > > Jason >
