What do you mean by "the voice combo box"?

Are you using the Windows SAPI5 version of eSpeak?  Voices only appear
in the Windows SAPI5 voice menus if they are added to the Windows
Registry.  With eSpeak voices, this happens when you run the eSpeak
installer and include the voice names (including the voice variant name
if required) in eSpeak's installation form.

So, for example, you want to use the eSpeak French voice with the
variant "f2", then you must include the voice:
  fr+f2

in the list of voices during the eSpeak installation.  Then it will
appear in the list of available SAPI5 voices.
