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 −

import java.awt.BorderLayout;

import javax.swing.text.BadLocationException;
import javax.swing.text.SimpleAttributeSet;
import javax.swing.text.Style;
import javax.swing.text.StyleConstants;
import javax.swing.text.StyledDocument;
public class SwingDemo {
   public static void main(String args[]) throws BadLocationException {
      JFrame frame = new JFrame("Demo");
      frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      Container container = frame.getContentPane();
      JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
      textPane.setBackground(Color.blue);
      textPane.setBackground(Color.green);
      SimpleAttributeSet attributeSet = new SimpleAttributeSet();
      StyleConstants.setItalic(attributeSet, true);
      textPane.setCharacterAttributes(attributeSet, true);

      StyledDocument doc = textPane.getStyledDocument();
      Style style = textPane.addStyle("", null);
      StyleConstants.setForeground(style, Color.red);
      StyleConstants.setBackground(style, Color.white);
      doc.insertString(doc.getLength(), "30th May ", style);
      StyleConstants.setForeground(style, Color.yellow);
      StyleConstants.setBackground(style, Color.gray);
      doc.insertString(doc.getLength(), "2019", style);
