The number of TrueType fonts in the Microsoft Windows operating system
version 3.1 are limited by the following items:
- The number of fonts that can be declared in the WIN.INI file
The WIN.INI file cannot be larger than 64K. This allows for between
500 and 1000 fonts to be declared (depending on the length of the
filenames and paths).
- The number of fonts than can be used simultaneously during a
Windows session
The Graphical Device Interface (GDI) internal tables allow no more
than 1600 entries. There are stricter limitations because of the
size of the TrueType data segment and the number of selectors
available in the system. Between 300 and 800 different fonts can be
used simultaneously during a Windows session. - The number of fonts that can be printed on the same document
