Sure.  For lightbrite, plop the following lines in your .emacs before
loading it and change the ("foreground" . "color") schemes to 
("font" . "name").

  (defvar brite::comment-styles '(("foreground" . "#7f9fcf"))
    "*Style specification list for comment style.")
  (defvar brite::mild-styles '(("foreground" . "red"))
    "*Style specification list for mild style.")
  (defvar brite::striking-styles '(("foreground" . "hot pink"))
    "*Style specification list for striking style.")
  (defvar brite::intense-styles '(("foreground" . "yellow"))
    "*Style specification list for intense style.")
  (defvar brite::blazing-styles '(("foreground" . "green"))
    "*Style specification list for blazing style.")
  (defvar brite::hot-styles '(("foreground" . "magenta"))
    "*Style specification list for hot style.")
  (defvar brite::earnest-styles '(("foreground" . "alice blue"))
    "*Style specification list for earnest style.")

e.g.:

  (defvar brite::comment-styles '(("font" . "*courier-medium-r-normal-*-14-*"))
    "*Style specification list for comment style.")
