We've only got about 165 on our machines here (I know if I
finish cleaning up the fonts on the Archives I'll have
more.  I'm still playing catch up), but I had some bad
problems when I added a few more today.  After about 10
minutes of the "120 seconds" sign being up, the machine
wouldn't launch anything (because it said it couldn't
find the default font) and eventually went out to lunch.

Now that it's back up, everything seems to be OK, but I'm
guessing 3.0 has some trouble with font management.  Did
you try removing all the . files from your font
directories?

I'll write you back when I get up to 256 fonts. :-)
