I believe that you can change the parameter RAM to indicate different
default system and application fonts to replace the use of Chicago and
Geneva by setting the appropriate parameters to the font numbers (I am not
sure about changing the default system font). Applications which use the
default, including Finder, will be affected; other applications (MS Word,
for instance) may choose their own default, in which case you would have to
patch them somehow. Utilities to examine and modify PRAM should be
available in the various archives (called PRAM something-or-other).
