There is not a 400-font limit for Windows.  There is a limit, imposed by a 
64K buffer used for font information such as the names of the fonts.  The 
limit will depend on the font names (shorter names allow more fonts), and 
on where the fonts are stored (fonts in the default folder allow more 
fonts).  Microsoft says that the limit is typically about 1000, but of 
course your mileage will vary.  I have 650 fonts or so, with no problems.

One important point is that Windows becomes unstable as the limit is 
approached.
