I've just completed doing this. Here's how:

1. Copy Pearl directory and Pearl.font to your fonts directory. (I know,
you've already done this).
2. Run FixFonts in the Utilities drawer.
3. Run FED (never thought it was useful, right?) and resave Pearl as an
non-proportional font. I saved it as Fpearl.
4. Run Fixfonts again. 
5. Type FF Fpearl.font.    Bam!

Kinda nice, isn't it?
