Fonts Do Not Appear in Corel Draw 4.0 or 5.0 (139753)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q139753 SYMPTOMS
If you have more than approximately 250 fonts installed, the Fonts dialog
box in Corel Draw versions 4.0 and 5.0 may be blank. If you quit Corel Draw
and then restart it, the fonts appear.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because of the way in which Windows 95 manages the
dynamic swap file. When you open the Fonts dialog box in Corel Draw, it
tries to load every installed font. If the swap file is needed but it is
too small, Corel Draw displays an empty dialog box. Windows 95, however,
increases the swap file size to accommodate the large number of fonts. When
you restart Corel Draw, the swap file is large enough to load all the
fonts.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this situation, choose the "Let me specify my own virtual memory
settings" option and set the Minimum setting to approximately 30 megabytes
(MB). The actual Minimum setting required depends on the number of fonts
installed, and can be as large as Windows 95 will allow. To access the "Let
me specify my own virtual memory settings" option, double-click the System
icon in Control Panel, click the Performance tab, and then click Virtual
Memory.
