More or less like this:

rtx.Clear();
rtx.Text = "There is life on Mars";
rtx.Select(9,4);
rtx.SelectionColor = Color.Red;
rtx.SelectionFont = new Font(rtx.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold);

rtx.Clear();
rtx.Text = "There is life on Mars";
rtx.Select(9,4);
rtx.SelectionColor = Color.Red;
rtx.SelectionFont = new Font(rtx.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold);

rtx.Select(17,4);
rtx.SelectionColor = Color.Blue;
rtx.SelectionFont = new Font(rtx.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold);
