I'm unaware of how to use different fonts across different Buffers,
can Vim even do this?

Ah, maybe you meant encoding instead of font? Cream uses a global
keyboard encoding to ensure that mappings, menus, and function calls
are sane across buffers. However, we do not change fileencoding unless
the user specifically does this through the Format menu item.
(Although to be honest, I'm not sure what Vim does behind the scenes
that Cream has no control of.)

I'm not certain, but there may be someone else here better suited to
answer this.
