You can turn a font on or off using Font Book to customize what fonts appear in an application's font menu, or in the Font panel. You don't normally need to worry about which Mac OS X 10.4 fonts you turn off or remove; any font that is required by the system, such as Geneva.dfont, Keyboard.dfont, LastResort.dfont, and Lucida Grande.dfont, cannot be disabled with Font Book.
However, some fonts that you can turn off (disable) may be required by specific applications. For example, Terminal needs the Monaco font to function correctly.
The number of fonts installed by the Mac OS X Installer depends on which packages you selected (see the package details below) when you installed Mac OS X 10.4. If you customized your installation, you may not have all of the fonts listed below. If you installed Mac OS X 10.4 over a previous version of Mac OS X, you may have additional fonts installed. Here is a list of all fonts that come with Mac OS X 10.4, and their associated packages.
