The limit is on the number of font suitcases not on the number of fonts, so you can combine a number of fonts into one suitcase and add more fonts. The fonts shown in the system folder are actually font suitcases. You can open them by simply double clicking them like a folder. The fonts stored inside the suitcase are simply files and they can be drug from suitcase to another. Empty a few font suitcases into another suitcase and throw the empty suitcase away, leaving room to add another suitcase. Font menus are created based on the actual fonts and not the suitcase name and the limit to the number of fonts in the menu is determined by the application and not the system. Creating a suitcase called something like "All my mono fonts" etc, will aid in organization. You can create an empty suitcase buy duplicating an existing one, emptying the fonts out and then renaming the suitcase. I know, I know this is very low budget, low tech organization. If you like to have fonts to play with this works fine, if your work requires finding just the right font for the right job there are a number of somewhat expensive applications designed just for such a chore. bill -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
