No. The DOJ has standardized on Courier for a font, and Courier's a built in font on pretty much all decent word processing programs and printers. The State Department used to use it too, but switched to Times New Roman some years ago.

They stick to plain ASCII and the same font everywhere to reduce metadata leakage.

Knowing what fonts / styles any one author uses could be used to group together internal intelligence structures.
