I try to use public Font(string, float, FontStyle, GraphicsUnit); to create a font, like
Font font = new Font( "Arial", 8, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Display);
I got a runtime error, it said the parameter is invalid. How should I use this constructor?
Also I use Graphics.DrawString(string
Mnay thanks.

actually, it's nothing to do with float and size, it's GraphicsUnit.Display causes the trouble, try to use anything but Display, like:
Font font = new Font( "Arial", 8, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Point ); // or
Font font = new Font( "Arial", 8, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Pixel ); // or
Font font = new Font( "Arial", 8, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Millimeter );
everything will work just fine

and as for your character draing question.
you should've used a big and bold font to get a thick character, for example:
Graphics g = Graphics.FromHwnd( this.Handle );
Font font = new Font( "Verdana", 10 );
g.DrawString( "test", font, Brushes.Black, new Rectangle( 10, 10, 100, 20 ));
using the code above, you'll get a nice neat line, not much bigger than you have on your controls

You should change to 8F not 8. Here is the correct
Font font = new Font( "Arial", 8F, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Display)
