OS X (10.3.9) won't Boot!

[digitalpencil]

Hi, I'm new to this particular forum so I will try and explain myself as best i can.
I've cocked up.. royally.
After installing Extensis Suitcase X1 earlier today and attempting to run the app a dialogue with progress bar displayed informing me that 'Suitcase is initializing. this may take a few moments'. The app hung here, so after searching online I found info. from extensis for this particular problem and discovered that this was apparently due to having too many fonts installed.
Blindly following instruction, against my better judgement, I removed practically all of my system>library>fonts and relocated them to a folder on my desktop along with all of my user>library>fonts. I also disabled my unsanity software in the process which then required a reboot to come into effect.
After rebooting, my system will no longer get past the startup bar in the boot panel!
It slides along, almost to the end but will not get past this stage and due to the fact that all of my fonts save two are now not working, I cannot view any information as to what stage of startup it is hanging on ie. network configuration etc.
I have attempted booting in safe mode, to no avail and am at work without my os x CD.
Does anyone know any way I can get my system up so i can remedy the offending font problem?
All help is vv.appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
DigiPencil.

Get an OSX CD or another bootable volume attached by firewire that will allow you to access your messed system drive.

Other tips:

Boot in verbose mode (power on, then hold down command-V till you see a text-only boot screen) - that should tell you exactly where you're getting stuck.

Also, disconnect from the network. I had a problem for a while where booting took 5-10 minutes if I was connected to the network at boot time.

Does it boot into the Unix shell? From there you can copy the files back into the system>library>fonts folder (assuming you know Unix). I had a user do the same thing two days ago, was having problems with extensis and fonts and moved the system fonts to the desktop. I copied the fonts back to where they go and everything worked from there.
