You want you change the definition of tocTitleMarkup.  The method is
explained here:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Table-of-contents

Something like this should work:

%%%
\paper {
  tocTitleMarkup =
    \markup \override #'(font-name . "SpectrumMT SC") {
      \fill-line { \null "Table of Contents" \null }
    }
}

\markuplines \table-of-contents
%%%
