What would you do with it? VARCHAR2 columns can't store font formatting, you'll have to set it while displaying information to the end user (in Reports, Forms or whichever tool you use).

Anyway: in Forms, you'd set it with SET_ITEM_PROPERTY, using its FONT_... or CURRENT_ROW_FONT_... properties. I don't know how to pick available font names. Someone asked, recently, how to select available fonts (see here), but the result is questionable.
