    $richtextBox1.ReadOnly = $True
    $System_Drawing_Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size
    $System_Drawing_Size.Width = 400
    $System_Drawing_Size.Height = 243
    $richtextBox1.Size = $System_Drawing_Size
    $richtextBox1.DataBindings.DefaultDataSourceUpdateMode = 0
    $richtextBox1.Name = "richtextBox1"
    $System_Drawing_Point = New-Object System.Drawing.Point
    $System_Drawing_Point.X = 265
    $System_Drawing_Point.Y = 7

RTF is a specification for formatting text.  You can use RTF commands or you can use method calls to set font and color.

Search Web for examples of using rich text.
