Which list box? WPF, Forms, ASP.NET? If you know only one, it does not mean others should do guesswork.

You can easily do it in WPF, as each ListItem can get any Content and can be any type, not only ListItem. In particular, you can use TextBlock for Content, so each instance of the TextBlock can get different font in different items of the list box.

This is not the case with System.Windows.Forms.ListBox. Items can also be of any type, but they are rendered in the same way. What you see in the item on screen is rendered as the value returned by the method object.ToString. This string is always rendered with the same font which is the property of an instance of the class ListBox. A whole list, not individual item. Same thing about ASP.NET, System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListBox, to best of my knowledge.

You can find find the code samples with WPF list views and individual list item properties in most of my CodeProject articles (except the last one).
