I think you might be able to do that with this: https://github.com/schreiberstein/lucidagrandeyosemite

#5This looks really good. Sleek and friendly at the same time.
I just wish there was a way to bring the old dock back, then I might upgrade.

Chrome, right? Not sure what to do about that. I think Chrome is doing some weird baseline alignment stuff that breaks with the custom font.
The issue is open on Github: https://github.com/wellsriley/YosemiteSanFranciscoFont/issue...

#10I might not be in the majority, but I actually like the new system font Helvetica Neue. I am a huge fan of it and on a Retina Display it makes so much sense. Understandably those who do not have the luxury of a Retina Display, I can understand the frustration, but having said that, I think the whole system font change thing has been blown out of proportion.
Even though I like Helvetica Neue, I really dig the new San Francisco font, it is a pretty nice alternative that seems to work pretty well for those who are using a non-Retina Display. If you want to bring back Lucida Grande, this Github repository has a handy script that will do that for you (some work colleagues of mine, designers mainly did it to bring back the old font): https://github.com/schreiberstein/lucidagrandeyosemite
