Are custom fonts a thing?

So I downloaded some scripts for Fearunian common, elvish, dwarvish, and draconic and thought it would be interesting to have creatures who speak languages the characters don't understand speak in those scripts in chat, however I can't seem to find any way to use custom fonts. I even tried copy pasting, and it didn't work out. Is there any way to do this?
You can copy and paste things in other scripts, to handouts or into the chat: جدار العاصفة، مخروط will work if you copy it from another document. Original output, not so much. I believe there is an API to output things in Anglo Saxon Runic font, but, of course that would require a pro level subscription. I have made character sheets for various languages. The characters who can understand them are given "control" of the sheet. Then using this macro: /em говоря по-русски /w Russian ?{what|говоря по-русски} Those characters that understand the language get what the character enters, everyone else gets  "говоря по-русски"  (I am speaking Russian)

What do these fonts look like? In any case, in order to style (e.g. change the font-family of) text output to the Text Chat, you would need to either use an API Script or a customized Roll Template . In order to implement either option, the Creator of your game would need to have an active Pro subscription.
Fair enough on the scripts. I was considering a subscription anyway. Unfortunately though, copy pasting to the chat does not seem to work for some reason. When I paste, It just puts it in normal latin characters. Tried copy pasting from my word processor on the forum and it seems it doesn't like that either. I installed the fonts to windows directly, but I can't seem to get them to show up in a browser at all.
Apparently just because it's installed in windows doesn't mean a browser will recognize it. So anything done in browser has to be with an embedded font. The good news is I can still do external handouts with the special text. The bad news is, no funky chat languages. Sad face.
