Changing font properties on a label control ... um, help?

[Kuma_Pageworks]

I didn't think this was going to be such a freakin' issue. I want to be able to change the font size on a label after getting input from another form. I've already handled all of the activation issues - but I can't for the life of me figure out how to change the font properties on the label. Do I just need to destroy the one that's there and make a new one?

All of the .font properties are read-only. Where the heck do I *set* the damn things?

Dim f As New Font("arial", 16)
        Label1.Font = f

Better still...

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
 
        Dim str As String = Label1.Font.Name
        Dim size As Integer = Label1.Font.Size
 
        Dim f As New Font(str, size + 1)
        Label1.Font = f
 
    End Sub
