Does anyone know how to access different font and control formatting options in the smart device application format?

I am using VB.NET but the emulator does not allow you to display differerent BackColors, and suports only one default font - even if others are selected in the design stage????

Is this an emulator problem, or somethig wrong with the smart device application platform? If i were to ru nmy code on a pocket pc as opposed to the emulator does anyone know if the case would be the same?
