Run DeLocalizer at <http://www.bombich.com/software/local.html> to remove
the unwanted foreign language .lproj files. It works in Tiger. As for the
unwanted fonts, if Font Book doesn't work, remove them manually, but see
the below links before moving something the OS requires.

A quick search for "Tiger fonts" at <http://search.info.apple.com/> yields
this:

<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301332> and it has a link
to Panther fonts:

And, then, Art Amolsch <aamolsch at shentel.net> followed up with:

Which fonts don't show up? Got some examples?
