Terry Pratchett did occasionally use a different font for a specific character, but knew to do so very sparingly. Death, for example, spoke in SMALL CAPS. The Golems were mostly mute, but the few speaking golems used a vaguely "ancient Hebrewish" font for their short phrases. He did so to emphasise the "otherness" of then.

The key word is of course "sparingly".
