    as far as I know the only changeable menu text colours are the ones in
    data/descr_ui_colour_db.txt

    try messing with the RGB colour values in that file

    I think that covers most of main menu fonts - though once you get into campaign screen & in game messages some are adjustable but most not....

    Nobody has figured out how to change the actual font, like using times new roman instead.

    nope, definitely not to that extent - if you look at the mtw2.lnt file it's got a couple of variations of font type and size... so you can switch around between those.... but you can't add any new variants - as yet (and dating back to RTW) no one understands the font files

    Tellos Athenaios (sp?) of the EB Team was making good progress on the font files as I remember hearing on their Twitter page(see here). Again that doesn't necessarily mean anything, in-team tools across the TW community have a disappointing tendency to not make it into the community at large, but we can cross our fingers.
