using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace WindowsFormsApplication31 {
    public partial class Form1: Form {
        public Form1() {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            btnUnderline.Text = "Underline";
            btnUnderline.Font = new Font("Arial", 10, FontStyle.Underline, GraphicsUnit.Point);
            AddFontSize();
        }
        private void AddFontSize() {
            // throw new Not Implemented Exception();
            comboBoxSize.Items.Add("8");
            comboBoxSize.Items.Add("9");
            comboBoxSize.Items.Add("10");
            comboBoxSize.Items.Add("11");
            comboBoxSize.Items.Add("12");
        }
        private void btnBold_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            rtfText.SelectionFont = new Font(rtfText.SelectionFont, rtfText.SelectionFont.Style | FontStyle.Bold);
        }
        private void btnItalic_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            rtfText.SelectionFont = new Font(rtfText.SelectionFont, rtfText.SelectionFont.Style | FontStyle.Italic);
        }
        private void btnUnderline_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            rtfText.SelectionFont = new Font(rtfText.SelectionFont, rtfText.SelectionFont.Style | FontStyle.Underline);
        }
        private void btnStrike_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            rtfText.SelectionFont = new Font(rtfText.SelectionFont, rtfText.SelectionFont.Style | FontStyle.Strikeout);
        }
        private void comboBoxSize_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            FontChange();
        }
        private void FontChange() {
            // throw new Not Implemented Exception();
            float fontsize = 10;
            string fontname = rtfText.SelectionFont.Name;
            if (comboBoxSize.Text != "") fontsize = float.Parse(comboBoxSize.Text);
            if (fontsize == 0) fontsize = 10;
            if (rtfText.SelectionLength > 0) {
                rtfText.SelectionFont = new Font(fontname, fontsize);
            }
        }
    }
}

For Combobox, you have to write in "comboBoxSize_SelectedindexChanged"event.
