The answers are "no" and "maybe, with difficulty".

The bitmapped .fon fonts are for screen display only. Because Word draws its
screen based on what it will print, screen-only fonts are explicitly
excluded. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=291354 for the official
explanation.

The displayed name of a font is embedded within the font file, and has no
relation to the name of the file. To change it, you need to use a font
editor. There are some freeware and shareware font editors available for
download (check Google). If all you want to do is change the display name,
you don't have to worry about the quality of the editor's tools for
modifying letter shapes.

I occasionally have need, within a memo or letter, to list stuff in
columns and for clarity I switch to a fixed width font. None of these
are to my taste, probably by reason of the constraints on their
creators, although Monaco is passable.
So I downloaded a few others to try them out and came across two
problems:
- Microsoft Word only displays TrueType fonts. There are others
(bitmap fonts .fon) in the \Windows\Fonts folder, including Courier,
but they are not shown in the document font list.
- It would be useful to change the name of the font to show that it
is fixed width, renaming the file has no effect.

Any way of fixing this?
