i haven't done this personally but a friend of mine told me you can just drop a different font with the same file name into the font folder in your SL install folder and it will replace the regular one.

I did this a few days ago to see if i could get unicode characters to work in the script editor (wanted to use rarely used characters for list spacers). It did not work properly, while the font was replaced, unicode characters did not work. Unicode characters do work for chat.

I can think of some really fun text games if I can use a fixed width font :)

In the MUD days of yore I made blackjack games, dungeon map games, etc... Card examples follow but they probly won't work because of the font :(
