[Code]....
The reported size is 10. Can someone explain the difference here? My hunch is that VB6 is using a .75 step because my system is configured at 96 DPI, and .NET is not using said step, or not reporting its usage, but I'm not sure.

rtbComments.SelectionFont = New Font(rtbComments.SelectionFont.FontFamily, rtbComments.Font.Size, rtbComments.SelectionFont.Style Xor FontStyle.Bold)

But if we have multiple fonts in our selection it dose not work. i have another code to solve this problem. But the only problem with this code it is good for less then 2000 chracters but when the selection text is large it is worthless. code is below.
