How to set font face, style, size and color for JTextPane text in Java



For background and foreground color of the JTextPane, use the following −

JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
textPane.setBackground(Color.blue);
textPane.setBackground(Color.green);

For font face, style and size, use the Font class and set the font −

Font font = new Font("Serif", Font.ITALIC, 18);
textPane.setFont(font);

The following is an example to set font, style and color for text in JTextPane −

      Container container = frame.getContentPane();
      JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
