Pretty easy to do.  I'm not sure about it changing for fonts 1 and 2, but the 
disc ones will, and once you have loaded the disc ones into memory, they appear 
as rom fonts (well, they do on my 500P).  So, just get a routine that searches 
through the information strings to find a font by name + point size.  This is 
what I do, it works very well.  (can't remember the details, but it's all in the 
manual, and is very easy to do.)

Hope this helps.
