What exactly about this code is not working?
One thing I see right away is that you are trying to pass a string where a Single is required.

You need to Change from

New System.Drawing.Font(ComboBox1.Text, ComboBox2.Text,
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont.Style)

to something like this

New System.Drawing.Font(ComboBox1.Text, Single.Parse(ComboBox2.Text),
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont.Style)

The question is: what do you want to get? What should be different in new font?

Exactly as LanFanNinja said in above comment you are passing String Value where you have to pass Single.I think you are using Vb.Net languge
The syntax to Set Font for RichTextBox is as follows :

VB

RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font("Tahoma", 12, FontStyle.Bold)

You change your code and try this :

VB

RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New System.Drawing.Font(ComboBox1.Text, CType(ComboBox2.Text, Single), RichTextBox1.SelectionFont.Style)
