Windows 7 WORDPAD & MSPaint only able to access limited # of fonts
Hi ... I am a new member of SevenForums but have been a lurker for a good while
I recently upgraded my last XP machine to Windows 7 and am having a problem that I have seen discussed in several threads ... but am finding no answers
I have discovered ... on this latest machine (all are W7 Pro JFYI) that both Wordpad and MSPaint are only able to display about 1000 of my 5000 fonts ( I do a lot of graphic art ... so I have lots of fonts)
I have discovered that more 'robust' programs like Word 2007 ... Corel PhotoPaint Pro X4 ... and the latest version of Mozilla Thunderbird ... are able to access the full list of my fonts
In both Wordpad and MSPaint there is the option to SHOW MORE FONTS ... but this does not allow you to choose any outside of the context box
I have seen solutions that say you have to uninstall fonts to fix this ... this is both unacceptable ... as well as inaccurate as I do not have this problem on my other two W7 Machines
Can anyone tell me how to increase the number of fonts available in the font context box with these two programs?
