One possibility is to convey a certain effect. As an example from the comic books, a character named Timber Wolf spoke in a manner that was supposed to sound more like a growl than a voice. Due to that, his dialog was rendered in a very scratchy way that was less legible and that was very distinctive from the other characters (whose dialog was rendered in regular lettering).
Another example is in the comic strip
Pogo which had a character named Deacon Mushrat (had to check Wikipedia for the name) whose dialog was rendered in a gothic lettering style (like used in some old Bibles) that reflected his religious nature.
Likewise, when writing my stories I use different typefaces for different types of text (see my previous post). I do it for clarity and for effect.
