Not without doing it yourself.
TI Only included 2 fonts on the 80-85. The small variable pitch
(Text), and the big fixed one (Disp). On the 86, I believe it is
possible to install your own fonts, although I do not know the limits
of this.

No. The 8xs have no crystals. (You didn't mention what calc you are
talking about; I don't know about the 92s). It may be possible to have
a pulse from a clock sent via the link port, to be used in a program.

Perhaps you are talking about a 92. On the 82, just set it to floating
point, or to 0 decimal places. On anything else, the hard way to do it
would be to do this:
If A=2:Disp "2"
If A=3:Disp "3
etc
