      I have heard that some of the best designers work primarily with about
      10-12 fonts and then only on occassion branch out with additional choices
      on special projects.




I've got a couple hundred fonts (out of a few thousand) regularly activated. I generally return to the same fonts over and over, except for special projects or needs. I generally have no problems leaving this many active on my system -- but if I were working on a long-term project that required just a couple of fonts, I'd create a special set for them and deactivate the others.

I like Thomas' list, but font choices are highly personal and mine are tailored to my clients' needs plus regularly used fonts. I don't think that any one list would be ideal for anyone else, anymore than telling you which camera and lenses I favor.
