No, the Fonts folder can take up to 128 _suitcases_.  Each suitcase can have,
I think, up to 255 or 256 fonts (I've never tried to push it to the limit--I
keep many suitcases and only open the ones I need).  7.1 goes slower when you   e using hundreds of fonts, but it still works.
are using several hundred fonts, but it definitely works.
