I assume you need this done in code?

This may not help a lot: you may have to tweak the row heights as well, as altering the cell font size does not affect that.

C#

private void SetColumns()
    {
    float current = 5.0F;
    foreach (DataGridViewColumn col in myDataGridView.Columns)
        {
        col.DefaultCellStyle.Font = new Font("Verdana", current);
        current += 5.0F;
        }
    }

I want to use the code in dataGridView1_CellFormatting event handler.because this will retain the required font size and color.I used the following line for that porpose

private void dataGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e) { if ((this.dataGridView1.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Name == "RECTIFICATIONS") && (e.RowIndex > -1))
{

DataGridViewCellStyle cs = new DataGridViewCellStyle();
cs.ForeColor = Color.Red;
cs.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 10F);
dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells["RECTIFICATIONS"].Style = cs;

} }
but this code make the datagridview column shake vigourously. what approach I should take in this matter

I don't know - I have never tried that - have you considered hiding the DGV while you play with it's settings?
