Subject: Why doesn't removing fonts/DA's make system smaller?

I just bought a new hard disk (Jasmine, 40Mb) which came with a
new version of system (6.0.1) and finder (6.2).  In customizing
my hard disk, I removed several fonts and one or two DA's from my
system.  Surprisingly, the amount of memory consumed by system
when I click on "About finder" did not change.  Why is this?
What's the point of removing fonts and DA's if the system
continues to consume the same amount of memory when loaded?  What
can I do to get this space back?
