Well, with the whole system being open source, there is definitely a way,
but it probably isn't an easy way.

You can load new fonts using the file list. You can change the fonts used
using "appearance" -> "system fonts...".

However, as to using nice sub-pixel antialiased fonts on LCD screens, I
personally haven't managed to get this going (not that I've tried hard). I
find the default fonts readable enough, so it's never been an issue for me.

Anybody else? Is there a way to get sub-pixel antialiasing working?
