ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I don't really like the large, elaborated font that is used by default for flying text (that is, the damage numbers and status changes that appear over creatures during combat), and I've noticed that the automated animation in the background of the main menu uses a different font, much smaller and cleaner, but I couldn't find any option to change it.
Does anyone know if it's possible, and how can I do it?

ESC while ingame -> Game Options -> UI -> Font Style
I think this does what you want.

Nope. That changes the font in menus and a few other places.
