There were some DOS textmode programs that changed fonts back in the day. I
think even Norton Commander did it to add some symbols? I can't remember the
details/how it worked - I assume in memory patching. There are some articles
floating around on the web about it somewhere.

....with that said, I can't think of any terminal that did this for non-DOS
style fonts. Maybe just no one did it, or maybe the patching is too limited?
