Allow us to change the font of our speech bubbles

That would be cool.
Edit: As long as the chat window text still shows up in normal font, because yeah, Wingdings Man would be the most extreme possibility, but some fonts are hard to read.
Comic Sans Man would support this suggestion-
If he hadn't been... Fixedsysed! 
(hopefully their font selection in-game won't be as useless as the possible fonts this board allows...)

I'm at work and can't make the character right now, but damnit I call dibs on Wingdings Man!
If they did this, the Carnival of Shadows (and spin-offs) should totally talk like P.T. Bridgeport.
If ever implemented they'd most likely give us a small list of approved fonts we can use that are legible but styled. FixedSys could make a good mechanical/tech voice for robotic characters. I'm not a pro at fonts but if they could have a fancier font for posh/well-spoken characters, something thick and bolded for large and brutish characters, erroded or wispy for sinister or creepy characters.
Heck, if they need to reuse the tech to get the most out of it, they could add special tags to give formatting to speech bubbles, much in the way that traditional comicbooks bold words that have importance or simply spoken more strongly than the other text. Personalise the enemy groups to give them their own feel in their dialogue by flagging groups with a style of font.
Would need some serious integrating to pull off, you know how they like to get the most bang for their tech, a whole flood of four-legged rigs is proof of that!

request in title.
Not sure how feasible it would be to implement something like this, but the speech bubbles of characters in comic books change dramatically from one scene to the next, and tend to add a slight bit of uniqueness to the dialogue of the characters. We already have the ability to change chat color so that we can tell easily who's saying what, but perhaps different fonts (within reason) could add to that.
you could have it all
