I guess it's the same as with K800/810i. The fonts are in /tpa/preset/system/font , correct me if I'm wrong. You can replace them using XS++, option fsx, if your phone is unlocked. Easiest is to rename the fonts first as the preset ones and then upload them in mentioned folder.

Well, in theory, you can use any font you like as long as it's truetype (ttf). In practice, most fonts won't look good on your phone or mess up the layout, so some editing is needed. Here you can find a lot of great font's; http://www.dafont.com/neuropol.font, and here I uploaded some fonts edited for use on k800;
http://www.4shared.com/accoun[....]1/318bbde1/sharing.html?rnd=55 I guess they work on K610 as well.
Mind that you will loose the original font if you overwrite it. So did I and I'm still looking for it!

To be honest, I don't know how to copy files from phone internal memory, but it is possible to create backups. I didn't as I'm lazy. The files I use to mod I picked up somewehere around here.
Also check this topic: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=153990 about XS++.
