I'm not sure if that is what you really want though. A font that has internal sections of letters with multiple coloring would be too complex for use in the average text editor/word processor. You're much more likely to find something like that within an art program. Besides, I don't think any software allows for random coloration of parts of a character.

In a vector art program, you could copy the font to a new layer, exploding the path's making up the individual letters. In this way you could segment a letter into pieces that could then be colored. Careful reduction of the segments would allow for the lead between pieces of colored glass. Definitely a labor intensive task, but probably one that would end up with the most realistic effect.

You can, of course, simply take the letters into a raster (pixel) based art program and color parts manually.

Now if you really want to get fancy, you could create two custom fonts: one normal version, another with pre-segmented letters. Then you could overlay the segmented version atop the normal. You would still have to manually color the segments though.

Hmm... someone might have a plugin for Photoshop, Illustrator, PaintShop, Corel Draw, etc. Not sure if any of the free editors would have something like this however.
