first, need tell version number of indesign using. if it's cs or later, can use nested styles.
first set paragraph style, complete font you'll use bulk of content. apply style sample paragraph, change fonts necessary. each font or style change, create new character style. once that's done, go , edit paragraph style. in drop caps & nested styles section add new nested styles. each character style use you'll need set "trigger", rule determines style ends , next begins.
if data well-structured, can simple using forced line breaks, x words, particular character (colons , periods popular), or tab. if data more randomly arranged, you'll need manually force style change using end nested style character, enter manually in each paragraph.
a picture's worth thousand words. post screen shot of you're text looks can suggest how use feature. , don't forget version number.
