Yes, and absolutely ghastly screen artifacting when doing so which would have had Steve Jobs smashing the screen with a chair.

(my favourite Amiga game was Obliterator, but I hated the screen appearances one had to go through to get it running if one had been doing some sort of graphical work)

Also, only pixel fonts EDIT: but I bailed before they showed up, see below ENDEDIT --- but the Apple Mac at that time was outsourcing its own vector font usage to the much faster processor in the Apple LaserWriter.

Lots of TV stations using Amigas for screen graphics though.

Acthschually, near its end, the Amiga got nice vector fonts too. (AmigaOS 2.1 or so?). But it was/ended as a timebubble, alas.
