JTextArea ? JTextPane
assuming JTextArea:
The data model for the JTextArea is the PlainDocument implementation. This restricts the JTextarea to have
single-attributed text. In other words, it single font
and single color. Sorry!

I never did this before. But i can point you some direction.
JTextComponent expose a method called "setDocument", It seems
you can set any document type ( PlainDocument, StyledDocument.. ) to any class derives from JTextComponent. By
default, JTextArea, JTextField, and JPasswordField use PlainDocument as their model. JTextPane uses an instance of DefaultStyledDocument by default. This doesnt mean that you cant change the Document model of those components. You can set any document to any JTextComponent. Look at the following site..

It will help you alot.

Just clarifying...
I din't mean to say this can't be acheived.
You probably could change the behavior by changing
the data model.
What I mentioned earlier applies to the default behavior.
Should have mentioned it earlier.

Thanks for following-up.

Hi,
Labels and buttons may understand setText("<html><font size=+2 color=#0000ff>animated Button</html>");
I think a TextArea doesn't work so.
But why didn't you take a JEditorPane instead of a TextArea.
In a JEditorPane you can give out the text in html and format it with html-tags.
