   Hi Liz,   
      
   I got a copy of Bitstream Font Navigator, and moved about   
   100 fonts out of Windows/Fonts into a new folder called   
   Windows/Fonts-2, but the problem with Paradox remains.   
      
   That, of course, raises a few questions:   
      
   Would the location of the folder containing the "overflow"   
   fonts matter? Or, might there be another issue I should   
   consider?   
      
   Many thanks, as before,   
   --
