You need to create an entry in the `columns` array, set the `field` value to match the name of one of your columns, and then you can set custom styles for the column in that entry.

This actually might be a bug. I’m not seeing changes within the table when setting column config styles, although I do see the expected changes if I apply them through a row config or as part of an individual cell’s data. Until we determine the root cause, you could apply the desired font-family property on the individual data pieces through a transform when you apply your data:

Might be the same issue as [Bug-13817](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/bug-13817-style-defined-for-columns-not-applied-in-perspective-table/27344)

I actually looked into that one before I opened the new one, and 13817 is dealing with areas which do not yet have styling available to them, whereas columns DO having styling enabled - it just isn’t working.

Style classes applied to `myTable.props.columns[index].style.classes` still have no effect in Ignition 8.1.9.

Bug-13817 was posted before column styling was added, it appears, but deals with the same root issue. Would like to know if a fix is visible on the nearish roadmap before working out the dataset transform on the input data.

Actually, we are actively working on a fix which should include this. Current estimate is 8.1.11 (no promises).

Hey @cmallonee, was this fixed in 8.1.11? I can the addition of the headerStyle prop but no mention of whether columns.style is fixed. Thanks!

Thanks for asking @kirsty! Columns.style was indeed fixed in 8.1.11. You can now apply inline and styleClasses via columns..style. If you happen to find a style not applying correctly please report back here.

Thanks,  
Jeremy
