Ok. I've also seen ebooks that contain numerous font files and none or maybe one is in use.
You need to be careful just stripping out fonts. A font file may be included because a special character(s) are needed that are not part of the standard font files. Delete the font file and the character cannot be rendered. See this a lot with the asian style characters.
You would want to remove the files correctly by also editing the CSS file to remove references, otherwise the ebook will be flagged with errors.
