You probably want to check out StripFonts. I posted it to
comp.sys.mac.digest and comp.binaries.mac a week ago and it's not
showed up; maybe something about the way I posted it confused the news
software.

You can get it via anonymous ftp from veronica.cs.wisc.edu; cd
src/stripfonts. There's a readme there as well.
