Yes. You'll need to install a couple of extra things. If memory
serves me correctly (It was a couple of months ago when I did this)...
Hit ftp.info.apple.com and look for the Grayshare Update and the
Truetype extension.
/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/
Macintosh/Printing/Other_Printing/GrayShare_Update_1.0.sea.bin
/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/
Macintosh/System/Older_System/System_6.0.x/TrueType/TrueType_1.0.sea.bin
While you're in the Truetype directory, grab all the fonts too.
The Grayshare Update contains an updated chooser, the Stylewriter
extension. Though I'm not sure if it contains the newer Font/DA mover you
need to install it. In which case, I believe you can get it from the
TrueType directory.
Take out the old chooser, put in the new, add the other items.
When you put in the TrueType fonts, hold down the Option key, else the
Font Mover won't see the ones you just downloaded (without the option key,
it's expecting to find suitcases.)
I think that's it. If I missed anything, someone fill in the
holes.
