A postscript to fonts (hehe), I wanted to mention how Office 2008 will replace your Apple supplied fonts with Microsoft fonts, placing them in /Library/Fonts Disabled. Well I like my Apple fonts just fine thank you, so for posterity here’s a list of the fonts that get bumped:
Tiger and Leopard Conflicts:
Andale Mono
Arial
Arial Black
Arial Narrow
Arial Rounded Bold
Brush Script
Comic Sans MS
Georgia
Impact
Times New Roman
Trebuchet MS
Verdana
Leopard Only Conflicts:
Tahoma
Wingdings 2
Wingdings 3
Also, just so you know there is set of fonts that Microsoft calls it’s ClearType Font Collection these fonts can be found on Vista and Windows Office 2007 (and Office 2008) they are:
Calibri Bold Italic.ttf

All named C, like when parents name all there kids by the same letter, which is a bizarre practice I’ve never understood. I have yet to do more testing, but in an attempt to find out what the bare minimum fonts required are this seems like a good place to start.
