Hi I am making a simple text editor and am trying to implemented a font
change when a user uses a drop down menu and selects the font i.e. Arial the
way I have it now is

textArea.setFont(new Font(ari, Font.PLAIN, 12));

// ari is defined by "private String ari = new String("Arial");"

The program changes fonts but changes the whole textArea, when I only want
to change the user selection in the textArea.

How do I do this?

Many thanks

Michael Rowlands
