In the customization buffer of `font-latex-user-keyword-classes' you can
find a button labeled "Value Menu" in front of the "Face attributes"
section of a keyword class.  If you left-click on that and select "Face
name", a text field will be displayed where you can type in the name of
a face.

It will likely accept some or all of the formats described in
(info "(emacs)Font X").  I haven't tried this, though.

You will probably also have to reload the file where instances of the
stuff you want to have fontified occur.
