We are developing a chat program. I want to know how to have a particular text(or a particular line) bold, while the other lines remain plain.
(as in a typical chat interface).

Hi Karthik,
I think the only way to do that is to use the JTextPane that comes with Swing. AWT won't do at all...
Good Luck,
Manfred.

This is a Swing question, so I will move the topic over there.
