My fonts (win 98) folder isn't behaving the way that it's supposed to. I don't have any selections for add a font or delete a font. When I copy new fonts to the fonts folder they don't show up. I have around 400 font files listed in the fonts folder. I can't do a view by similarity. It's like the fonts folder is just another folder.

I had the same problem when I first installed Win98. I used TweakUI, which is on the 98 CD, or downloadable from Microsoft's website as part of the "Power Toys" program, and there is a option to rebuild parts of '98, like the icons and the font folder. Try playing around with the Fonts section of the Control Panel, if you cant get it to work, use TweakUI to reset the fonts, then drop the extra fonts you want into the Fonts folder in the Windows directory. I beleive that there is a maximum amount of fonts you can have, as I've run into a problem when installing WordPerfect, it will only let you add so many of the fonts because Windows uses a "font table" or something of that nature, and wont allow you to exceede so many installed fonts. Hope this helps you out.
