if (e.Index == this.tabControl1.SelectedIndex)
{
    TabFont = new Font (e.Font, FontStyle.Italic FontStyle.Bold);
}

{
TabFont = e.Font;
}
string TabName = this.tabControl1.TabPages[e.Index].Text;
StringFormat sf = new StringFormat();
sf.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center;
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(BackBrush, e.Bounds);
Rectangle r = e.Bounds;
r = new Rectangle(r.X, r.Y + 3, r.Width, r.Height - 3);
e.Graphics.DrawString(TabName, TabFont, ForeBrush, r, sf);
//Dispose objects

What is the error?

Error 3 Invalid expression term ')'

Don't say you just left out the pipe (or) in between FontStyle.Italic and FontStyle.Bold, and didn't spot it...

Maybe tell us what is the error?

So you didn't read my solution? You forgot a pipe-sign (bitwise-or)! The line should be ... new Font (e.Font, FontStyle.Italic | FontStyle.Bold); You can combine an enum defined with [Flags] attribute like this. see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.flagsattribute.aspx for reference.

you are welcome, sorry for my first "unpolite" answer - I realy thought it was just a copy, paste error when you created the question.
