There is a way, but it has limited usability:

One of the Rowsource types for a listbox control is Popup. You can define a popup with bars that have different fonts, colors, etc., and then set the listbox rowsource to the popup.

Create a form, drop a listbox on it, put the following code into the init of the form:

DEFINE POPUP ListTest
DEFINE BAR 1 OF ListTest Prompt "Rick" Font "Times New Roman" ,12
DEFINE BAR 2 OF ListTest Prompt "Chris" Font "Times New Roman" , 8 
DEFINE BAR 3 OF ListTest Prompt "Dan" Font "Arial" , 12 STYLE "B" COLOR ,W+/G

this.List1.RowsourceType = 9
this.List1.RowSource ="ListTest"

The contents of the listbox are based on the bars in the popup, which means that to change the contents of the listbox, you must redefine the bars of the popup. It also means that the listbox only has one column and that whatever you set controlsource to will only have the caption of the bar as the value. Like I said, it is limited.
