I got a similar error. It happened because I was creating a new format (style and 
font) for each cell. Since the size of my excel sheet was large it exceeded the max 
fonts allowed. One solution to such a problem is to restrict the no. of fonts you 
create. Since max. distinct fonts should be much lesser than no. of cells, you could 
use some pre created fonts.
