Can I use the Lichess chess sets under Fritz?

I always found it difficult to work with Fritz / Chessbase. The design of the chessboard (colors) and the pieces disturbs me a lot. Of course you can choose between different ones und you can manipulate the colors, but still I don't like it. I like the design here on Lichess much more. So is there a way to use the Lichess chess sets and the colors of the squares under Fritz? Would be great, if anybody could help!
btw: I looked but didn't see the default lichess set in that pack. It's usually either called "Wiki" or "CBurnett." These pieces are implemented as a font format, so if you take the cburnett pieces, which you can easily find in svg format on the internet, and replace the correct letters of the font (you can probably figure it out by just inspecting the fonts in this pack), you could probably make your own lichess font to use in fritz. The colors should be easy to do in fritz, since you can choose your own.
Related: I don't like the look of Fritz and Chessbase products in general, either. I'm far more comfortable using ChessTempo on the web as a database. As I made another thread related to this, I'd like to see a nice little workable games database here on Lichess, too. I think combining master games with the games played on the site here would make for a lot of nice material.
Thank You for your answers! Nice to see, that here are people, ready to help each other! I have to try out all these links that you sent me. I'm really not an expert at the computer, so this will take some time. I already tried these Fritz-Fonts, this was easy to do. Most sets there are a bit crazy and I search for a simple set, as this Cburnett seems to be. So I will try this one.
