No, the font itself uses mac-roman encoding, so you'd have to change the
font-data itself.  Emacs happily uses fonts with mac-roman encodings, so
there's no reason to make such a change.

The problem is most likely elsewhere.  E.g. that your files are read as if
they were encoded in "mac-roman" whereas they're encoded in "latin-1" (or
vice-versa).  Check buffer-file-coding-system and
default-buffer-file-coding-system.
