[softwarelist] Printing lots of fonts

Dear all,

Today, I finished creating a document that shows all of the serious serif
fonts that I collected over the years. Bolds and italics included, the
document now counts 243 different fonts and weights.

However, that's where it stops, because printing the document seems to be
impossible. Whatever I try (printing directly to my postscript printer,
printing in the background, printing through PrintSpool, printing to the
PDF printer driver), the print window doesn't even come up with the
smallest fraction of the green bar, while the hourglass continues to run
for hours, literally.

Alt-Break does nothing. The only way to retrieve control is a complete
reset.

Although scrolling through the document goes rather smoothly, I wonder
whether there's actually a limit to the number of fonts that OvationPro can
handle when it comes to printing? 

Kind regards,
Paul Sprangers
