You had SOME problems, so I'll try to help you:

To change the mouse pointer, you have to have a sprite bank from where the
image will be taken. But remember: the image MUST BE EXACTLY 16 pixels wide
and have NO MORE than 4 (four) COLOURS. However, there is NOT limits for
the
height of the image.

What do you need the fonts for?? Because, for a fast and easy usage, you
can
try Text command: with it, you can use whatever font, even the biggest one!
Otherwise, get the AMCAF extension by Chris Hodges (the demo version is on
Aminet in dev/amos and the only(?) limitation is that you can't compile the
program): it has got a command to use your own fonts with Print command,
