If in your boot sequence, the answer is simple: *Print the font
*before* you invoke the desktop in your !Boot (or !Boot.!Run) file.

e.g. to quote from my !Boot (which is an application, containing a
!Run file and all my boot resources...) !Boot.!Run:

  IconSprites <Boot$Dir>.!Sprites
  Print <Boot$Dir>.Font

  Set Free$Path <Boot$Dir>.Resources.Free., <Free$Path>
  Set Wimp$Path <Boot$Dir>.Resources.Wimp., <Wimp$Path>
  |(etc)

  desktop <Boot$Dir>.AutoRun
