To replace a font in ROM, you must add entries to the 'ROv#' resources in the 
System file.  Each ROM version has an associated resource, but I believe you 
can add the new entry to all the 'ROv#'s with no bad effects.  ResEdit has a 
template for 'ROv#'s, so you just open each one, select the bottom line of 
*****, use the New command, and enter the resource type and ID you are 
replacing.  For example, to replace Chicago-12, you would use type 'FONT' and 
ID 12.  This will cause the system to use the FONT 12 resource from the System 
file rather than the one in ROM.

If this isn't clear enough, send me mail.
