Depends upon which version of Excel you are using.

With 2002 and 2003 you can, when protecting the sheet, checkmark "edit
objects" which will allow changing fonts and styles in a Comment.

Hi,
I am working on a spreadsheet with a lot of formulas in it. I am then
protecting it and only leaving the comments parts unprotected. My question is
once I've protected the sheet, I cannot change the font size or bold,
undeline or italics the words in the comment section. I want the comments
column to be unprotected so that anyone can write and change font or color if
need to be. Please help !!!!
