No, once you create a font, you can't change it. There are a number of
reasons for this, but it's all basically because that's the way fonts are
handled in Windows. A 12 point font and a 10 point font that are otherwise
identical are considered two entirely separate fonts.
Underneath, each has a separate font handle and thus the encapsulation in
.NET works the same way.
