It is difficult to change the styles for labels in Windows Forms. Try using WPF if possible.
You can do lots of fantastic styling in WPF.

True... besides just changing fonts, to gain any effects such as shadowing etc... you either have to use multiple labels offset, or owner-draw the control and paint the effects yourself... WPF offers a lot of visual prowess from what I've read.

WPF is a right thing, my 5.
