Nearly any size can be used. The VB help file says this:
Use this property to format text in the font size you want. The default is determined by the system. To change the default, specify the size of the font in points.

The maximum value for FontSize is 2160 points.

Note Fonts available with Visual Basic vary depending on your system configuration, display devices, and printing devices. Font-related properties can be set only to values for which fonts exist.

In general, you should change the FontName property before you set size and style attributes with the FontSize, FontBold, FontItalic, FontStrikethru, and FontUnderline properties. However, when you set TrueType fonts to smaller than 8 points, you should set the point size with the FontSize property, then set the FontName property, and then set the size again with the FontSize property. The Microsoft Windows operating environment uses a different font for TrueType fonts that are smaller than 8 points.


So you can freely populate a combo with values ranging from 6 to 60 (which is often seen).
