Windows 3.1 and Soft Font Limitations

ID: Q82752

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

If you use the Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1 with the PSCRIPT.DRV version 3.5, there is no limit on the number of PostScript soft fonts you can install. The only limit is the size of the WIN.INI file, which is 64K. (The useful size is approximately 50K.)

The Windows 3.0 PostScript driver versions 3.3 and 3.4 require that the font directory (which lists metrics for all installed fonts) fit in a 64K block of memory. At approximately 170 entries, the directory would need to be larger than 64K. KBCategory: kbprint
