No. The lock screen is tightly controlled for security reasons, and allows no user customization other than the option of displaying a background wallpaper.

The technical reason is in the past, there have been actual Windows security exploits based on fonts. A clever programmer can create a fake font with the express goal of crashing the application loading the font. For security reasons, the lock/logon screen must run at the highest privilege levels so allowing someone to specify a hacked font can lead you to gaining unauthorized security rights.
This is why to most users' confusion, Windows protects some font and wallpaper settings with highest security.

Yes, it's like Apple with their Macintosh system, protecting their intellectual property to give every user the same experiences or views and license accordingly. If I wanted to make as many changes I've seen asked about I'd go with Linux, can use the core to write the Operating System as desired, one can see all the choices on 403 Forbidden and download, about 100 available.
