The Fonts directory can only hold 128 entries.  But an entry can be a
suitcase, and that suitcase can contain a lot of files.  So, in reality,
there's virtually no limit.  Just combine fonts in those suitcases, and
stay below 128 suitcases, and you'll be in good shape.

You can also move suitcases in and out of the Fonts directory without
restarting the system.  You should avoid, however, changing the contents
of the font directory if multi-font applications are active.
