I just ran into this problem and came up with a possible solution
using the substitute() option (not explicitly noted in the esttab
help, but as an estout option it is available).

If you use notepad or another text editor to open an .rtf table
produced by esttab, you'll see the first line looks like this:

{\rtf1\ansi\deff0 {\fonttbl{\f0\fnil Times New Roman;}}

which suggests the following:

substitute("\fonttbl{\f0\fnil Times New Roman" "\fonttbl{\f0\fnil Verdana")

This has worked for me although I have not tested it extensively.

Best,
BL
