AppleScript Font

code to change the font type before creation of a table or cells?

I think the only way to do that is to set up a template with the desired font name and font size and have your AppleScript apply that template when creating a document.

You've probably discovered that when you have an existing table you have to target a cell or a range when changing the font. For example, to change the font of all of the cells in a table you could do something like this:

tell application "Numbers"
  tell document 1's active sheet
  tell table 1
  set cells's font name to "Georgia"
  end tell
  end tell
end tell

Thanks for the link! That code seems to do the same thing: it applies the font name to all the cells in an existing table. As far as I can tell, "cells's font name" is equivalent to "font name of cell range" and your "font name of every cell." On my setup I can't detect much speed difference: a bit slow no matter how it's done!

Don't get such a variance on my setup. Must be other factors at play. Anyway, good to know the different ways of changing the font in an existing table. Other than applying a template, there doesn't seem to be a way to set a default font before making a table.
