If you have Panther, you will find the Font Book application slightly
useful in sorting out the mess. I don't know how it plays with
suitcase. It will help you find duplicates. You can use it to disable
and re-enable whole collections of fonts at a single click

I seem to have only 167 fonts after I used it to tidy up the mess left
by some illicit Quarking ;-)

Finally, there would be those who would claim that you are not using
Word effectively if you find yourself frequently changing fonts. You
might be better for some classes of document, creating templates where
styles specify the fonts and other attributes of each part of your
work.

Then, if you are doing post-doc research on ransom note design....
