WPFI is the WordPerfect FONT INSTALLER.
And, unlike the rest of WP's modules, it doesn't write "overflow"
table entries [e.g., font names] to your hard drive
        It tries to read them all into CONVENTIONAL memory!
1.  WP/Corel admits that this is a design flaw.
2.  Someone suggested [I concur] that WPFI was probably
purchased rather than "home-grown" . . . which doesn't
excuse WP's negligence!
Btw, anyone know whether WP/Corel has finished updating its
customer data base.  [Yup, another gift from NO-vell: They
scrambled the WP Customer DB.  Sheesh.  ]
