As far as I know font is set per element.

If you know you are only going to use one font (as we do) then store it in a field named something like 'GlobalFont' and apply GlobalFont to each element it is required upon. I'd suggest FontSize will be different for different types of elemnt on your report, e.g. 'TableHeaderFontSize' 10, 'ReportHeaderTitleFontSize' 16. You have to make a decision as to what is useful to be databased and that will be elements that are regularly the same between your reports. I have found that storing about 20-30 properties + 20-30 other metadata items gives me an optimal advantage.
