Here's some sample code about how to use JTextPane:
JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane(new DefaultStyleDocument());
SimpleAttributeSet s = new SimpleAttributeSet();
StyleConstants.setFontFamily(s, "Times New Roman");
StyleConstants.setFontSize(s, 16);
StyleConstants.setBold(s, true);
StyleConstants.setForeground(s, Color.red);
textPane.getDocument().insertString(0, "hi, I am here\n", s);
Hope this helps.
