Hi Will, Wendy,

Not exactly what you asked, but here are the fonts I have finally  
kept (the choice does not pretend to be objective in any way, neither  
do the comments accompanying each font name). Thanks to William Adams  
and Joachim Trinkwitz for their suggestions.

SIL fonts
=========

Because these are often mentioned in Jonathan Kew's answers

Doulos SIL
<http://scripts.sil.org/DoulosSILfont>

Charis SIL
<http://scripts.sil.org/CharisSILfont>

Gentium
<http://scripts.sil.org/Gentium>

Code 200x
=========

Because these are often mentioned in Will Robertson's answers

Code2000 (shareware)
Code2001
Code2002
<http://home.att.net/~jameskass/>

Bitstream fonts
===============

Because these have been mentioned here at times (I must admit that  
I'm not familiar enough with font issues to see any significant  
difference with the ubiquitous LaserWriter 35 fonts)

Bitstream Charter
<ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/fonts/charter/>
<ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/systems/mac/fonts/oztex/charterbt- 
oztex.sit>
<http://www.download.com/Bitstream-Charter/3000-2185_4-896557.html>

Bitstream Vera
<http://www.gnome.org/fonts/>

Around the LaserWriter 35 fonts
===============================

Free UCS: Nothing very original, but given these are free I imagine  
they might become a standard someday
<http://www.nongnu.org/freefont/>

FPL Neu: Because knowledgeable people here have spoken highly of that  
one
<http://www.tfkp.physik.uni-erlangen.de/~ralf/tex/fplneu-otf.zip>

Adobe fonts
============

Adobe Utopia: Because of the existence of the complementary Fourier  
math fonts, and because of their design which looks (to my untrained  
eyes) like a cross-breed of the "classical" LaserWriter 35 fonts and  
the "modern" Lucida Bright fonts
<ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/fonts/utopia/>
<ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/systems/mac/fonts/oztex/utopia- 
oztex.sit>

Adobe Euro: For those rare occasions when one uses a font missing the  
Euro symbol
<ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/mac/all/eurofont.sea.hqx>
<ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/mac/all/eurofont.txt>
<ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/mac/all/eurostdfont.sit.hqx>
<ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/eurofont.exe>
<ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/eurofont.txt>
<ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/eurostdfont.zip>

Math fonts
==========

Fourier-GUT: Math complement to Utopia
<ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/fonts/fourier-GUT/>
<ftp://ftp.gutenberg.eu.org/pub/gut/distribs/fourier/fourier-mac- 
v15-12-02-2005.sit>

MnSymbol: Math complement to MinionPro
<http://www.hft.ei.tum.de/mz/MnSymbol10.otf>
<http://www.hft.ei.tum.de/mz/MnSymbol.zip>
<http://www.hft.ei.tum.de/mz/MnSymbol.pdf>

Mathematica: Created for and used by Mathematica, with MathML support  
in mind
<http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/systems/macintosh/general/ 
latestfonts.html>
<http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/systems/windows/general/ 
latestfonts.html>
<http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/systems/linux/general/ 
latestfonts.html>

For fun
=======

<http://www.josbuivenga.demon.nl/fontin.html>

Delicious: Original and nice in every point of detail
<http://www.josbuivenga.demon.nl/delicious.html>

Yanone Kaffeesatz (donationware): A tribute to the powers of coffee
<http://www.yanone.de/typedesign/kaffeesatz/>

Behrens-Schrift: So very Art Nouveau
<http://moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/steffmann/samples/b/ 
behrens.htm>

Optimo Circuit: So very BauHaus
<http://www.hardmac.com/news/2005-01-11/#3482>

Plus home-made conversions to TrueType format, using FontForge and my  
original Mac OS 7 floppies, of the Apple vintage fonts I miss so much  
on Mac OS X: Athens, Cairo, London, Los Angeles, Mobile, San  
Francisco, Venice

Cairo TT: TrueType clone of the bitmap Apple Cairo, based on a  
PostScript clone which has apparently vanished from the web

Font_Indices/Image_Pages/C/Cairo.html>

Medieval fonts
==============

I have not installed these, but according to their presentation they  
seem especially useful to scholars, linguists and for biblical studies
