It is in fact SelectionFont. Some sample code, try it with a button and an RTB dropped on a form:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    With RichTextBox1
        .SelectionLength = 0
        .SelectionFont = New Font(.Font, FontStyle.Bold)
        .Focus()
    End With
End Sub

Type something, click the button, note how everything you type now is bold.

That answer was simple - just use a SelectionFont. There is no need for zeroing SelectionLength. Thank you Hans Passant! – BaruchLi Jun 11 '12 at 09:01
