Deserted Island Font Choice

If I was trapped on a deserted Island with only a MacBook, a charger, Adobe CS5 and only 5 fonts.  My fonts would have to be:

1.  Helvetica
2.  Futura BT
3.  Garamond
4.  Trajan Pro
5.  Optima

I choose these fonts because they best give me the variety to design the way I want.  The hardest part for me was deciding my 5th font.  I was stuck between Optima and Palatino, serif and sans-serif.  I decided to go with Optima because I felt san serif fonts give the most options design wise, even though I had to sacrifice the readability of Palatino.  I will post another list actually showing the fonts when I have more time.
