Changing Button Font (Size)

I can read the Font^ of a Button(->Font). But how do I change the Font of a
Button, or at least it's size?

I'm programming using MS VC++ 2005 Express in /clr managed mode.

Thanks!

Hi all, I know now how to change the font name of a RTF file in a RTB control using, for example: RTextBox1.SelFontName = cmbFonts.Text I have a RTF file -created with Word- displayed in a RTB control. Whenever I change the font type during the runtime by selecting a font name from a combobox -of all system fonts, the text changes its font correctly but I loose some formatting such as a bold text and/or titles become normal text.

I have tried width:auto in the...

I am having trouble changing the font for a PushButton control in a datagrid button column. I have seen several posts refer to styles and simple changes to the HTML for font changes but most of those referred to a LinkButton type of control.
