This doesn't seem possible. I currently have 96 softfonts in my WIN.INI
file. This number includes Adobe Type 1 (Version 1, 2, & 3), Bitstream
Fontware, Bitstream Speedo, and converted Corel WFN fonts. They are also
listed in the ATM.INI file. You might want to try placing all of the
fonts that you want to add in a temp directory and using the ATM program
to install them.
