If you download the Black Plastic Theme and Add-Ons from Extras you can choose the system font by doing the following; make sure you have previously moved the font file to your ~/MyDocs folder using the USB cable and Mass Storage Mode. The home directory when you open the N900 in your PC is the ~/MyDocs folder. Not sure if you need root access to move out of MyDocs so we'll gain it anyway, correct me if I am wrong! You will need "rootsh" downloaded and installed.

Open a terminal;

Code:

root (or sudo gainroot)
cd /home/user/
mkdir .fonts
mv /home/user/MyDocs/<fontfilename>.ttf /home/user/.fonts
exit

Then ou can go into settings and go to Black Plastic Theme Setup and select the font, along with a plethora of other bits and bobs. Reboot the phone and enjoy your new font.
