Depends which version of Windows you're running. In Win95 and Win98 there was an approximate limit of 1000 fonts (the exact number was determined by the length of the TrueType names and the filenames). Since Win98, however, (i.e. NT, 2000, XP, and Vista) there is no limit to the number of fonts that can be installed. The only downside is increased boot-time due to the requirement to read the information for all those fonts while the system is starting up.
