Yes, but... I have used a program called vfont to do this, I got it from my local Shareware dealer so I don't know what archives or BBS's might have it. It puts the new font wherever it is fonts go and then hangs around as a TSR to put it back if any program happens to reset the font. Comes with four fonts (actually two fonts each with two different line thicknesses). Works OK on my 386SX except that it interferes with some programs, TSRs, and device drivers. The one that immediately comes to mind is PRODIGY but then lots of things interfere with PRODIGY. I may also have had problems using it with Windows 3.0 although it works OK with Desqview. It doesn't work at all on the 486 I use at work.
