I think the best you can do is make the custom character style into a Quick
Style; that way, it can be applied by clicking the appropriate button in the
Styles group on the Home tab.

this is Word 2007, so not sure the above applies.

If I use the Limit to Permitted Styles then not only the Fonts group,
but also the CTRL+B type keystrokes are restricted.

I can create character styles and reassign the default keystrokes to
them so CTRL+B will now apply the character style bold instead of
calling the function ApplyBold . However, I can't work out how to
have a menu group on the ribbon with the B button icon that will apply
the character style.
