The easiest way to do this is to drop a TFontDialog on your form and then create a trigger for doing something like this:

   with FontDialog1 do
      if execute then
         RichEdit1.SelAttributes.assign( Font );

This affects the selected text in the rich edit, which is closer to what most people want.

You can also set the font of the rich edit directly:

   with FontDialog1 do
      if execute then
         RichEdit1.Font := Font;

But that's usually not what your users want. Still, it is useful for setting defaults.

Take a look at the Help example for TTextAttributes for more granular control.

Hope this helps...
