I noticed there was not an actual full code answer  so as i come across this  i have created a function  that does change the font  which can be easily modified  I have tested this in    - XP SP3 and Win 10 Pro 64  private void SetFont Form f  string name  int size  FontStyle style        Font replacementFont   new Font name  size  style       f Font   replacementFont      Hint  replace Form to either Label  RichTextBox  TextBox  or any other relative control that uses fonts to change the font on them  By using the above function thus making it completely dynamic           To call the function do this          e g in the form load event etc   public Form1           InitializeComponent          SetFont this   Arial   8  FontStyle Bold              This sets the whole form and           everything below it           Shaun Cassidy      You can also  if you want a full libary so you dont have to code all the back end bits  you can download my dll from Github   Github DLL      and then import the namespace using Droitech TextFont       Then call it using  TextFontClass fClass   new TextFontClass    fClass SetFont this   Arial   8  FontStyle Bold     Simple

Font Name  Font XYZProperty  etc are readonly as Font is an immutable object  so you need to specify a new Font object to replace it   mainForm lblName Font   new Font  Arial   mainForm lblName Font Size     Check the constructor of the Font class for further options
