Ok here we go now it's time to resolve your problem

If you alreay decided to go for richtextbox then this is common way to change the font color and style of selected text within:

richTextBox1.Focus()

richTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Red 'in your case colordialog's value

richTextBox1.SelectionFont = new Font ("Courier", 10, FontStyle.Bold) 'in your case fontdialog's value

and finally if you want to make it to be permanent font and color you should store the picked values in (i prefer for small data) text file on local machine. Then fetch the value from certain text file in load event and just pass to the richtextbox.

i.e.

onLoad ....
'declare streamreader and readline from the text file passing each value to the new var respectively
'now only add the values to the rtBox
rtb1.Font = myFont 'also for the color
End sub

I hope this helps

Cheers
