Yes, I have a better solution.  Get Pointless, which will allow you to 
use as many truetype fonts as you want from the Mac HD.  And get IR (free 
download from Apple's ftp server and probably others) which will allow
you to launch the other stuff (with the possible exception of tools, not 
sure on that one).  I did this for a while with a GS networked to the 
Mac.  But then I got the full Appleshare program, so now I boot off the 
network rather than locally.
