You may or may not have noticed a post I made last week about a similar 
problem, but it basically boils down to that Win3 does not appear to handle 
>130 PS softfonts.  The "failure mode" appears to differ by application, but 
symptoms I have seen include an empty fontlist & the application believing 
that it has no printer to print to.

At this point we are just going to have to wait for a fix.

Does anybody know it this problem affects other softfonts (for a non PS 
printer)? ... there are people that post here with HP printers that don't 
appear to run into these difficulties ...
