Hi

do you want do like this (rightside) ?

To apply font to each cell, you must access TextFrame => Table => Cell => any TextObject

var doc = app.documents[0];

// two textframes, they have a table (2x2)
var tf_one = doc.textFrames[0];
var tf_two = doc.textFrames[1];


//applied to story
tf_one.parentStory.appliedFont = "Myriad Pro\tLight";
tf_one.parentStory.pointSize = 24;
//not effective against table text

//applied to text-object of each cells of table
tf_two.parentStory.tables[0].cells.everyItem().texts[0].appliedFont = "Myriad Pro\tBold";
tf_two.parentStory.tables[0].cells.everyItem().texts[0].pointSize = 24;

thank you
