Once you've made the style, or as you are making it, you just set its font properties.

There are two relevant properties:

appliedFont
fontStyle

But appliedFont can be used to set both at once.

myDocument = app.activeDocument;
myNewStyle = myDocument.paragraphStyles.add();
myNewStyle.name = "testname";
myNewStyle.appliedFont = "Arial\tBold";

or you could have written:

myDocument = app.activeDocument;
myNewStyle = myDocument.paragraphStyles.add({name:"testname", appliedFont: "Arial\tBold"});

or:

myDocument = app.activeDocument;
myNewStyle = myDocument.paragraphStyles.add()
myProps ={name:"testname", appliedFont: "Arial\tBold"};
myNewStyle.properties = myProps;

These are three ways of getting to the same result. I tend to use each approach as the mood takes me.
