Set Current Font as Mail Default not working properly

A new feature in Lotus Notes 8.5.2 and up, is to set the currently selected text as your default font. On a system with a lot of fonts installed, this feature might not work. In one case, a user chose Trebuchet MS as his default, but every time a new e-mail was composed it changed to Default Serif. It turned out Lotus Notes cannot cope with too many fonts installed on a system. After removing about 30 fonts, the problem was resolved.

It appears that Lotus Notes loads fonts alphabetically, and just stops at a certain point, probably due to a memory limit.
