I'm assuming that you're talking about labels in WinForms applications. Fortunately, all you need to do is set the Font property and you'll be all set. One other interesting property you'll want to set is the AutoSize property. That will cause the label to automatically resize itself to ensure that all the text for the control will be displayed with the new font. While it's a fantastic feature, the sad part is that not all controls support it.
