Sure, you may be able SEE them, but can you USE them? Sure by clicking SEE MORE FONTS it take me to the fonts folder but what then? I can either hide them or unhide them? Still they are totally unavailable in Paint or WordPad

Yes I can use them all.

I wish I knew why mine doesn't. I see you are using W7 Pro and mine is W7 Home Prem. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

1,600 fonts? good lord I didn't even know Windows could support having all of those loaded in at the same time.

Quite easily. Even when I was using a computer with only 1 Gb of memory and XP, Paint and wordpad were able to use each and every font.

I have the original fonts that come with Windows. Wordperfect adds a couple hundred and PrintShop adds another bunch along with a few I downloaded.

Works ok for me too.

I am using Pro.

Haven't got premium installed so can't check.

It would be odd if that was some kind of limitation due to Edition.

I have a workaround for this issue that works for me.

Open up MS Word. Select the font that you want in to use.
Type something in the required font.
Select and copy what you typed.
Tab back to MS Paint.
Click on the "Text" button to open up the text input frame.
Paste the copied text into the text input frame.
And voila. The text is in the required font in MS Paint. Furthermore you will notice that the required font is also selected in the font selection field. So any time you want to enter any new text it will be in the font you want, until you change the font again to something else.

I installed (via Windows 7 fonts installer - drag & drop) all of my fonts. 4662 of them.
But when I open MSPaint, I can only see the top 50 of them.
Like the previous gentleman said, you can click to SHOW MORE FONTS at the bottom of the list, but it only takes you to the font storage page with no way to use them.
How do you change the drop-down list to be able to view, and use all of my fonts?
thank you

Windows 10, not 7

You posted in win10 forum were I have answered you

I realized there was more than one forum after I posted. Thank you. I'll go there now.

I knew that but thought that those who'd posted already, by now, might have an answer.
THEN I realized there was a different forum for 10
I started Friday with a 7 and by Friday night changed over to a 10, and all of my software was out of whack
spent all day Saturday trying to fix it
Did fix quite a bit but have a few remaining issues
But that's why I posted here. ;-)
