What I want to do is have the user select a font from third party font selection combo box and select the font size. How do I go about having the correct range of sizes for that font?

Fonts (generally) are vector-based and can be displayed at any reasonable point size. I say ‘reasonable’ becase on a typical display, fonts below 8pts are not terribly useful.
Most Microsoft products give a range starting with 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and then jump by ever-increasing point values up to 72. Depending on your application, you may want to allow a variety of smaller values (like 8-12) and then a few larger values.. a ‘correct’ range really is dependent on how you want to use the fonts.
