Didn't Bel Kaufman use different type faces for the students' notes,
messages, etc. in UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE?

M. Phillips used different type faces for the different historic eras in
THE LEGEND OF THE CELTIC STONE.

I wonder if anyone has ever said, "I can't read that book; it's not my type."

BYE!

Faulkner is well known for using italics in certains sections, often to
express a character's thoughts, although he is hardly consistent in that.

In fact, in one of the "Faux Faulkner" contest winners (see THE BEST OF BAD
FAULKNER), a character wonders:
"Why do I think in italics sometimes and sometimes in single quotation marks?"
Another character asks "Why is it you do not put an apostrophe in DONT" to
which the first character replies, "I am speakin' in dialect and I must save
up my apostrophes for my gerunds, from which I habitually drop the final G."
