Problem

Symptoms: Is there a limit to the number fonts that you can create in Bitstream 3.0 for 5.1? The user has stripped all the fonts and printers out of the .ALL file, except for his printer. He creates 428 fonts in two font libraries, about 200 fonts have only 3 characters in them. The size of the .ALL file is 257,949. When the user tries to define his printer it updates all 428 fonts and then returns him to the select printer screen as if the .PRS file was never created. The user says it seems to work fine if he only has 400 fonts in the .ALL file. He has an HP LaserJet Series II with the 1/5/90 release dates. Solutions: This limit can be changed, but it is not recommended. The reason why is the amount of temporary disk space that is needed to generate the fonts. This amount can be great if the number of fonts have large point sizes. As per the limit in 5.1 in a font library, there is no actual limit number-wise. The average limit we have found is about 950 fonts. This can vary from 790 to just over 1000.
