I think you might have to get creative with the 'Font' constructor. For example, on a click event then construct a new Font using some relationship with your application (or textbox size) with the desired font size. 

Protected Sub btn_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn.Click
  Dim yourfontsize As Integer    

  'machinery to create desired font size
  If blah then 
      yourfontsize = X() 
  Else
      yourfontsize = Y()
  End If


  yourtextbox.SelectionFont = New Font("Tahoma", yourfontsize, FontStyle.Bold)

End Sub

Where X() and Y() are functions to return your target font sizes based on whatever else may be going on within your application.

Hope that helps!
