Sure, it supports a thing like <span font_desc="Helvetica 12">foo</span> 
where "Helvetica 12" is a Pango font spec which can include all the
font attributes Pango understands.

It could be extended further to support more kinds of stuff, it's just
a matter of what people find out that they need.

(Hey, it occurs to me it even has docs:
