There are 250 fonts in my font folder, but when I open a program only about
160 are available. How do I make the rest of the fonts available? I went
through this in w98, can't remember what I did tho.

This depends on your program/application.

Fonts come in different types (TrueType, Bitmapped, Monospaced, etc)
and certain applications may only want to use certain types of fonts.
For example, a telnet program may only want to use Monospaced fonts.

And a previous discussion seemed to define a few fonts that are just not
for use in any program. Used by the system only.

Here are some links FYI: The cut and paste may not have worked well,
but you get the point.
