This is possible?
I had to reinstall Win7 on my laptop, because I installed too many
fonts. (Literally, the only way to fix Windows was to wipe the drive,
and reinstall it.)
I do have several hundred of fonts, really, and I never had problems with it.
Whilst Win7 can handle more fonts than other versions of Windows, it is
very picky about those fonts.
The only figure that sticks in my mind, is 50K installed fonts for some
Linux distros, but majority can handle 100+K installed fonts.

Years ago, this also happened to me on both Win and Linux boxes as a
test. Grant you, I was on Win98. The fix was to boot into a Linux Cd and
remove the newly added fonts. The problem on Linux is that I had added a
.zip file of 1000 or so fonts and it looks like one of the fonts was one
of the culprits. I removed the fonts one by one and finally gave up for
lack of time and remove the whole set and the Linux box re-booted fine.
