Problem Loading Fonts HELP!!

[MrVB50au]

I had just loaded another 500 fonts into my list of fonts folder, now when I open my application it took a little while to collect all the fonts but at least it opened. Now, when I close the application then open it again only a few fonts appeared. The third time I opened my application there were no fonts in the combo box.

What am I doing wrong?

It used work just fine when I had the usual fonts from windows and office in the collection, but now that I added an extra 500 fonts, it's playing up.

Can anyone please help me figure this dilema out for me.

Andrew.

Oh, by the way, They're all TTF's.

What OS?

 

[MrVB50au]

I'm VB5 in using Win98SE.

I did however found a font that was troubling me, now that I got rid it. It seems to be working ok, what I mean as in ok, I mean that I would still like to load the fonts at startup but I have tried to do this and find myself only loading a few again.

Is there a way that I can securely allow my application to load all fonts without any hickups? I'd like to be able to force a list to be gathering all the Screen.Fonts and when opening another window that uses those fonts that the user does not think that the application had hung.

When loading a large number of fonts, I had noticed it does take sometime for the list to be completed in the combo box and would love to be able to preload the list somehow.

Is there a way that this can be achieved?

Thanks again for your time,

Andrew.
