Although the end-problem that this would solve is a TeX one (installing a new font for PDF output), this particular solution that I'm looking for is a Sphinx issue. Sphinx uses standard LaTeX when making PDFs, which is fine so far, but I need to install a new font and have tried and failed. I understand this is a far easier process using XeLateX, so would like to know if there is an extension or some way to configure Sphinx to make it use the XeLaTeX builder instead.

As of recent Sphinx versions (tested with Sphinx 4.2.0), yes! Simply add this to your conf.py file:
latex_engine = 'xelatex'
