> How many fonts can one place in the font folder?

    I've got about 380 font files in there right now, probably close to 500 a
little while ago.  No problems yet.  The only with large folders like that
(and has nothing to do with being a font folder) is that the SFGetFile and
SFGetFile2 routines don't handle it well.  You should be able to hit an
alphabetic key, and it will jump to the first file beginning with that letter.
Doesn't work with a crowded folder.  I don't know what the limit is, but
probably around 300 names or so.

    I'll mail it to you instead, if that's OK.
