I installed (via Windows 10 fonts installer - drag & drop) all of my fonts.
4662 of them.
But when I open MSPaint, I can only see the top 50 of them.
You can click to SHOW MORE FONTS at the bottom of the list, but it only takes you to the font storage page with no way to use them.
How do you change the drop-down list to be able to view, and use all of my fonts?
thank you

Welcome to the forum. Have you installed the fonts or just copied see How to Add a Font in Microsoft Paint - Solve Your Tech
What type of fonts depending on the mspaint version it may noy be able to see all font types YouTube
I'm afraid I dont understand (the text in SOLVE or the video in YOUTUBE).
I installed them in the FONTS Add Fonts page (attached pic) and they're all there.
Are you saying if they are installed in Windows 10 Font Installation, they wont appear in Paint?
They do all appear in Word, after I installed them here:
- - - Updated - - -
You can see here, it stops in the middle of the Ds and tells me to click to see more fonts, but that just takes me back to the original pic - the fonts installation page....
They are all .ttf
I actually didnt know there was another kind of font until now. What are the extensions on those? Mine are in fact, .ttf
And True Type Collection (.ttc) fonts and old text mode fonts (.oem).
nothing works :-( I guess I need to delete the fonts I installed. Is there an UNDO so I at least have the fonts I started with?
I suppose there's a chance that adding that many fonts has corrupted the font cache. You could try deleting the font cache - C:\Windows\System32\FNTCACHE.DAT - and reboot for it to rebuild itself. Better still, re-name it to FNTCACHE.DAT.BAK so you can always go back. This might, just might, fix the issue.
To reset your fonts back to defaults, use Control Panel > Fonts > Font settings:
Perhaps have a read of this article, particularly the part about 'installing thousands of fonts is a bad idea'?
Hope this helps...
That didnt work :-/ oh well. Thank you for your help. I appreciate your time and suggestion.
