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.

I clicked on the Font property, Foxpro crashed with an error message "Fatal
error 6 while reporting error 6" (I think this is "too many files open"; I
have config.sys files=99). When I deactivated most of my fonts (I had a
lot installed), it worked.
