Applications are a package that contains a number of items used by the App (Brad, you can make a clearer definition I'm sure)
Right click on Setup Assistant, and click on "Show Package contents"
A new window opens up that should have a folder saying "Contents"... open it, then open the "Resources" folder, then copy "Setup Assistant.dfont" to your Library/Fonts folder and change the name to "Apple Garamond.dfont"
I know you answered this with a finder solution, but I would like to see more peeps using the shell. (woo-hoo... points for Mac+)
You did 2 things wrong. First, when you are trying to use names in the shell, you have to quote or escape spaces. eq,
Quoted = cd "/A name with some spaces/"
Escaped = cd A\\ name\\ with\\ some\\ spaces
Tip: type the first few letters of the folder or file you want and hit tab. Nice iccle mac shell will finish the name for you if there is only 1 possibility. eg. type "cd /Sys"<hit tab>.
The second thing you did wrong was to use the cd command (change directory) and then specified a file - "Setup Assistant.dfont". You have to specifiy a directory or you will get an error.
Enjoy.
Thanks Gargoyle - this was the type of info I was really after. I want to understand more about Unix and this background info helps!
I'm a newbie to the command line, but am slowly getting my head around some of the concepts! Will keep trying ... and hopefully, learn from my mistakes.

Hopefully this works (haven't tried it myself)

Go to /System/Library/CoreServices/
Then right-click (or Control-Click) and you will see "Show Package Contents"
Click on that and a new window will open
...then continue like normal
Thanks ast3r3x - I never knew we could do that! Cool!

Currently, this is me in the Terminal:
In the future, I would like this to be me:
A lot to learn about it though.
I know only two commands: ls, and cd...
Pitiful.
