Back to the first post, I can only think of Philip K Dick.
But if you do have a different font for every character, think of the fun you might have "casting" the character's font.
A German, a Fraktur font, perhaps?
An orotund politician, some fat font (Goudy Stout?)
A broad-shouldered hero, a font with muscles (?)
And if you really do try to match font to ethnic characters, imagine the outcry!
I tried it in Word on a sample of dialogue text. It looked ludicrous. Besides, if you have fifty or so characters, and it's an ebook, think how many embedded fonts you need. Fifty, maybe?
