I don't believe you have any choice on a text screen but I could be 
wrong. You can select fonts on graphics screens using the gpload and 
font system commands. You should look at these commands in chapter 3 of 
the OS-9 Level II manual. NitrOS-9 comes with two other font sets in 
directory SYS but I've never tried to use them.
