If the font is installed on your system, then Jalview should show it in
the 'Fonts' menu. You can also set a default font in the 'Visual' tab in
the user preferences.
There are a couple of caveats with user defined fonts:
1. Jalview won't save the font with the jalview project - so if you
share a project file that specifies your custom font then any one who
imports the project needs to have the font installed on their system. I
have a suspicion Jalview will not gracefully degrade should the font not
be available. NB - if you export alignments as EPS lineart from Jalview
then you'll have no problems with the custom font.
2. If the font has complex layout metrics then it almost certainly won't
work with Jalview's rendering/layout engine. See
http://issues.jalview.org/browse/JAL-1279 for the situation I'm thinking
about.
I hope that helps ! I'm also curious as to what you're thinking about
doing with a user-defined font :)

Dear Jalviewers
I would like to know if it is possible to add a user-designed font to
Jalview.
Kind regards

Charity Awareness Message
Isnt it time you registered with Anthony Nolan?
You don't have to /die/before you can register to donate bone marrow,
which should you ever be found to be a random match could help save a
childs life of leukaemia. All we ask is for more young donors to
replace the ageing ones already registered; should you be that
pine-needle-in-a-haystack, donation is a fairly harmless procedure.
Why not register today and increase the chance of finding a match for
a sick child
