The list Michel suggested was posted by an MS employee.

This second list is from earlier than that, and is the product of much
diligent experimentation by a poster here, Jeff Wiseman who wrote the
article on the MVP site.

I would go with the first list of fonts to keep, myself.

I would also, if you really want to mess with fonts, consider paying the $5
for this ebook
http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/word-1.html
Which has 6 pages on exactly your question including an intro to Font Book,
Apple's utility.

Aren't you the person who just switched to 2004 from Word 5.1? The rest of
the book is also worth the money.
