Smart Device Application - formatting available

Question

Does anyone know how to access different font and control formatting options in the smart device application format? I am using VB.NET but the emulator does not allow you to display differerent BackColors and suports only one default font - even if others are selected in the design stage???? Is this an emulator problem or somethig wrong with the smart device application platform? If i were to ru nmy code on a pocket pc as opposed to the emulator does anyone know if the case would be the same?

The emulator does a very good job of emulating what happens on the device it is emulating. I think that to make things work with the limited resources that Microsoft had to modify the implementation. I found this true with ASP.NET where the Javascript is a scaled down version too.
