Believe it or not the only font that OS X absolutely *requires* is Lucida
Grande, and  
it must be located in the /System/Library/Fonts folder. OS X will not
boot without Lucida Grande. Other than that you can remove all the rest. I
have done this for clients using suitcase to manage fonts for DTP and not
wanting duplicate open type fonts of their postscript ones.
