changing the font in a JTextArea for different lines

Question

I would like to append differnt lines of font to the JTextArea, however the last font seems to override the other.

Please help...

Answer 1

Try using JEditorPane / JTextPane

These support HTML formatting. A normal JTextArea's setFont method will just set the font for the entire textarea.
