Yes it is possible. I used it just before system 7 came out.
You need the Truetype init which is included in the StyleWriter package.
If you put the Truetype fonts in your system, using F/DAmover 4.01, which
is also in the package, you can use them on your Mac, on the StyleWriter and
on the ImageWriter.
Despite the instructions: This Truetype init works perfectly well with
system 6.0.5!
