My novel contains emails, titles of news articles, parts of technical journals, and snippets of computer output in addition to regular dialogue and action.

Is it common/acceptable to use one font for computer output and emails, another for news articles, and something else for regular dialogue and action? I consistently use the same font for each throughout the story.
