I am struggling to get this to work. In my init files I have:
(set-default-font "DejaVu Serif Italic")
I have followed the advice on StackOverflow
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3758139/variable-pitch-for-org-mode-fixed-pitch-for-tables
and customized my Init file to include:
(set-face-attribute 'org-table nil :inherit 'fixed-pitch)
However, table formatting is still screwed up. C-u C-x = shows
xft:-unknown-IM FELL DW
Pica-normal-italic-normal-*-15-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1 (#x29)
Character code properties: customize what to show
name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER F
general-category: Lu (Letter, Uppercase)
decomposition: (70) ('F')
There are text properties here:
face org-table
fontified t
line-prefix [Show]
wrap-prefix [Show]
I have tried setting the font for org-table using Emacs Customize
Interface, but without any success. Ideally I want tables to use a
monospace font like Inconsolata or DejaVu mono. Can anyone provide an
example of how to set org-table to use a specified fixed width font.
Ian.

I've played a little with this, and here is what I have (straight from
my config file).
First, I set up the font for variable pitch, and I tell emacs to use it
for text modes.
** setup
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(set-face-attribute 'variable-pitch nil :family "Ubuntu")
(set-face-attribute 'variable-pitch nil :height 140)
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'variable-pitch-mode)
#+END_SRC
Then I set up exceptions for some faces in some modes. I have exceptions
for info, mu4e, and org mode. Here are the ones for org mode.
** org
from http://yoo2080.wordpress.com/2013/05/30/monospace-font-in-tables-and-source-code-blocks-in-org-mode-proportional-font-in-other-parts/
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun my-adjoin-to-list-or-symbol (element list-or-symbol)
(let ((list (if (not (listp list-or-symbol))
(list list-or-symbol)
list-or-symbol)))
(require 'cl-lib)
(cl-adjoin element list)))
(mapc
(lambda (face)
(set-face-attribute
face nil
:inherit
(my-adjoin-to-list-or-symbol
'fixed-pitch
(face-attribute face :inherit))))
(list 'org-code 'org-block 'org-table 'org-block-background 'org-date 'org-link 'org-footnote))
#+END_SRC
What this says is: use fixed-pitch for the faces in the list at the
end. I have to include dates, links, and footnotes because I use them in
tables and I don't know how to conditionally change a face (i.e., use
fixed-pitch for links in tables but not for links in other places).
Hopefully this will work for you.
Alan

Hi Alan,
That sort of works. The fonts in org-table, etc are fixed pitch as
expected. However, I seem unable to set a variable width font using
text-mode-hook. Whatever font I choose Emacs ends up using DejaVu Sans
Mono. I have tried several fonts that Emacs should be able to use by
listing them with (print (font-family-list)).
If I set the font instead using set-default-font org-table, etc claim
they are using a fixed pitch font, but they don't look as though they are.
Ian.

Is it because the "variable-pitch-mode" is not set, or because the face
associated with it is not applied? What happens when you do a "M-x
variable-pitch-mode"?

Aha! As you suggest variable-pitch-mode isn't being set. Doing an "M-x
variable-pitch-mode" sets the font correctly. So either text-mode-hook
isn't being called, or something is resetting it.
[Time passes...]
Just had a look through my .emacs and I was using text-mode-hook later
on to turn on autofill. So problem solved, thanks very much for your help.
Ian.
