It was detailed in MacWorld a few months back. Here's what yout do:

o make copies of your fonts
o put all of the fonts into a single suitcase
o open the suitcase with Resedit
o open the FOND
o for each FOND you want to hide:
o  click on the FOND name
o  select "Get Info"
o  rename the font so the first character is a "."
o  close the FOND
o close the FOND
o option-open the FONT
o for each name that you changed in the FOND:
o  click on the associated FONT
o  select "get info"
o  rename to match what you changed on the FOND side.
o  close the FONT
o close the suitcase and save your changes.

The period makes it go away. You can also rename fonts if you want so that
they are in a specific order (although programs that use fonts and store
them by name won't be able to find them in existing documents).
