I (unfortunately) do not have the time (at work) to go through all the fonts
individually & weed out the ones I really want to keep, and sometimes 
decide which version of the font with the same name I prefer.  So I too 
tried to install all the ones I had obtained from cica.  

As I responded previously to this post, I also ran into the same problems 
as the original poster.  I have since contacted uSoft on two occasions 
about this (neither person knew much), and subsequently called Adobe who 
promptly said that there are problems in the windows handling of softfonts 
that are "well known, but not acknowledged by uSoft".  The tech support 
person at Adobe recommended that I keep no more than 100 (130 max) fonts 
in my win.ini (system memory dependent point of failure) & have multiple 
win.ini's listing all the fonts I wanted.

I am at home now (no win3), but I would have guessed that the PS driver 
was written by Adobe, not Aldus ... not that that really helps as the Adobe 
tech support person categorically denied their involvement in the Win3 PS driver.
