    Hi Trojan,

    There's probably an API, but the following works.

    Add a pictureBox, set it to Visible=False and use the following code:
    VB Code:
    1. Picture1.ScaleMode = vbPixels

    2.     Picture1.Font.Size = RichTextBox1.SelFontSize

    3.     Picture1.Font.Name = RichTextBox1.SelFontName

    4.     

    5.     MsgBox Picture1.TextHeight(RichTextBox1.SelText)

    Added bonus, if needed, Picture1.TextWidth(RichTextBox1.SelText) gets the width.
