Here is a simple example:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

With CheckBox1

       .Text = "I'm BOLD"

       .Font = New System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 10)

       .Font = New System.Drawing.Font(CheckBox1.Font, FontStyle.Bold)

End With

End Sub

It's buried in the help (well, for me it was) Hope this helps.

Just to make it more fun,,,,,,,,,,,,here's this:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

With CheckBox1

..Text = "I'm BOLD"

..Font = New System.Drawing.Font(CheckBox1.Font, FontStyle.Underline +
FontStyle.Bold + FontStyle.Italic + FontStyle.Strikeout)

End With

End Sub

Almost all the available settings except for FontStyle.Regular.
