   Re: Font changes on form...?

   The font problem is fuzzy.  It varies from computer to computer.  I'm not   
   sure if RAM matters or if it's strictly a case of how many registry entries   
   you have total or if the limit is on "font" entries in the registry.   
      
   I would knock it down to a hundred or even fifty installed fonts initially   
   - just because it's easy to take them out and put them back later - and see   
   if that makes a difference.   
      
   Verify, when you do this, that an application like Word or WordPerfect only   
   shows 50 fonts installed when you drop its font list down.  If it still shows   
   all of them, they're not correctly "uninstalled".  Try rebooting, perhaps.   
      
   If this doesn't fix the problem, you can put the fonts back (though I still   
   recommend no more than 300 and fewer if you can get by with fewer).  And   
   we'll have to go back to the drawing board...
