I am writing a Swing application in which input into a JText Area can be done in two ways: typing the text in directly, and pressing a button. I want the font of the text entered when using the button to be different from the font used when typing the text in directly. How do I do this?

Hi Richard,
Look at javax.swing.text.Document and its children.

Hi,
I dont think JTextArea will help u. Though u can change the font using setFont(), but u can't have a JTextArea with text in different fonts. Better use JTextPane. JTextPane supports different fonts and colors too.

Be reasonable. You can't destroy everything. Where would you sit? How would you read a tiny ad?
