Java JTextPane Change Font of Selected Text
I have a JTextPane (or JEditorPane, I can use either no problem). How can I change the font of a selected area to a specific font? textpane.getSelectedText().setFont() won't work. (Even with font-family) You can change JTextPane's font only as a whole, it doesn't do rich text. There's a Document underneath JEditorPane (and apparently JTextPane too), which you get a hold of with getDocument() . You want to cast that to a StyledDocument if you can, and then you can do things like setCharacterAttributes to a given run of characters. There are some (hopefully) helpful examples in the Java tutorial
