NeXT Technical Alert 92-4 Summary Fonts can randomly disappear from the Font Panel when you're using more than 250 fonts in NeXTSTEP Release 3. Description NeXTSTEP Release 3 does not currently support more than 250 fonts. There seems to be a discrepancy between .afmcache, .fontdirectory, and .fontlist, with .fontdirectory seeming to be missing entries. Solution To work around the 250 font limit, you can do one of the following: 1. Copy the utility /usr/bin/buildafmdir from NeXTSTEP 2.x into your Release 3 /usr/bin directory. Then rebuild your font index by running the command buildafmdir. 2. Break your fonts up between /LocalLibrary/Fonts and ~/Library/Fonts.
