Hi Michael, sorry for that, though I don't understand - if you boot 
your system without ! any extensions (including kernel extensions)
the fonts provided in the lists should let you boot without any issues 
(if you start in safe mode kernel and other ext aren't loaded).
And as Craig wrote none of the fonts in user/whatsoever are needed by 
the core system.
If you still startup with extensions wich possibly need certain fonts, 
especially kernel extensions - I am afraid that I totally uncapable of 
any help here.

Again, I am sorry for all the problems you went through..
Jon
