Rich Text Boxes (font) -

Hi all

I am trying for the life of me to get my RTB to display Bold font, I would also like to change size as well.
But the code gods are not favoring me today

VB Code:

Dim Fonter As StdFont
 
With Fonter  'I know this looks funny now but one I get this
.Bold = True  'working there will be more
End With
Set rtbInSum.Font = Fonter
 
TempHold = Format(InExtensionTotalInWrite).TotalCharge, "###,##0.00")
rtbInSum.Text = rtbInSum.Text & Chr$(32) & Chr$(32) & Chr$(32) & Chr$(32) & Chr$(32) & Chr$(32) & _
Trim(InExtensionTotal(InWrite).Extension) & Chr$(9) & Chr$(9) & Chr$(9) & Chr$(9) & Chr$(9) & Chr$(9) & _
Chr$(9) & Trim(InExtensionTotal(InWrite).Minutes) & Chr$(9) & Chr$(9) & Chr$(9) & Chr$(9) & Chr$(9) & _
Chr$(9) & "$" & Trim(TempHold) & Chr$(13) & Chr$(10)

When I run this it displays................nothing!

anyone have any Ideas?
