  Here is a sample application just to get you started:

  {

  public Form1()

  {

  InitializeComponent();

  }

  /// <summary>

  /// When loading the form, we fill the lists with values

  /// </summary>

  /// <param name="sender"></param>

  /// <param name="e"></param>

  private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

  // Size list items

  lstSize.Items.Add(5);

  lstSize.Items.Add(6);

  lstSize.Items.Add(7);

  lstSize.Items.Add(8);

  lstSize.Items.Add(10);

  lstSize.Items.Add(12);

  lstSize.Items.Add(14);

  lstSize.Items.Add(16);

  lstSize.SelectedIndex = 0;

  // Font list items

  lstFont.Items.Add("David");

  lstFont.Items.Add("Arial");

  lstFont.Items.Add("Times New Roman");

  lstFont.SelectedIndex = 0;

  }

  private void lstSize_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

  int size = (int)lstSize.SelectedItem;

  richTextBox1.Font =

  new Font(richTextBox1.Font.Name, (float)size);

  }

  private void lstFont_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

  string fontName = lstFont.SelectedItem.ToString();

  richTextBox1.Font =

  new Font(fontName, richTextBox1.Font.Size);

  }
