Hmmm... I think it can be configured in some .ini or similar file. Is possible 
because some of the fonts are TT. You must ask in some Windows newsgroup.

There are programs to do that, but I don't know if windows supports that, 
additionally the current RHIDE can't call an external program to set a video
