I am having a problem with the Select version of Corel Draw 7. This
is only a recent phenomenon. I have tried reinstalling, but that has not
helped.

When adding text to my picture, if I go down the list of fonts, the whole PC
freezes. It is not always the same font, and I can select the previously
offending font, and there are no problems. There is no other application
running.

Can anybody help?

How many fonts do you *have*? The most common reason for crashing during
font selection is *way* too many fonts.

Have a great day!

"installed" according to Font Navigator or is that the total in your
font directory?

I recently solved this sort of problem for a friend who had only 100
odd "nstalled"but it turned out there were over 1,000 in the
c:\windows\fonts directory.

Just moved 80% of them (manually - not with Font Navigator) to a new
directory outside the c:\windows area, and all the problems
disappeared.

I double checked, and there are only 160 fonts in the c:\windows\fonts
directory.

Thanks for trying.

Ian.
