SYMPTOMS
If more than 510 fonts are installed in your system, the following error message occurs when you start Works for Windows:

More than 510 fonts in the system.

Reduce the number of fonts or else the display may be Incorrect.

Under Windows NT, if you exit Works for Windows and restart the program after receiving this error message, you may receive the following error message:

Application Execution Error

Insufficient memory to run this application.

Quit one or more Windows applications and then try again.
