Using SharePoint Online, and we have a list with a column that is formatted as a clickable email address. While all the other columns are some nice font, like Segoe or something, this email column is...

Drogon365 I have used below JSON & it is working fine for me.

Example:

 

{
   "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
   "elmType": "a",
   "txtContent": "@currentField",
   "attributes": {
      "target": "_blank",
      "href": "https://google.com/"
   },
   "style": {
     "font-family": "Segoe UI"
   }
}

 

Output: 

Try using similar JSON styles & let me know if it works for you.

 

Also, are you using column formatting as well as view formatting in the same list?

ganeshsanap  That didn't work for me. I used: 

 

"style":{"font-family":"Segoe UI",
"font-size":"12px"}
 
and while the font size does change based on the px value I indicate, font-family won't change at all, even with Verdana, Arial, etc. 
 
No other formatting is being used on this list, although the full code for this particular column is pasted below for context. I've tried adding the font-family code to other, more basic lists in SharePoint, and the result there is that the data in the column disappears (screenshot below). 
 
{
"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
"debugMode": true,
"elmType": "div",
"children": [
{
"elmType": "a",
"txtContent": "@currentField",
"attributes": {
"iconName": "Mail",
"class": "sp-field-quickAction",
"href": {
"operator": "+",
"operands": [
"mailto:",
"@currentField"
]
}
}
}
],
"style":{"font-family":"Segoe UI",
"font-size":"12px"}
}

    Drogon365 Try copy pasting below JSON as it is & let me know if it works for you:

     

    {

  "elmType": "div",

      },
      "attributes": {

          "operands": [
            "mailto:",
            "@currentField"

        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
