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).
