Use a JTextPane.

I'm having a problem with a JTextPane in a JScrollPane.

We are using JDK1.1.7 with Swing 1.0 using JBuilder 2.0 Professional.

When the amount of text in the JTextPane gets large, scrolling down stops
too early.  You can then use the arrow keys to move the caret lower and
scroll down further, but it stops painting the new area, leaving it grey.

We never even get over 2K characters, so it isn't like we are taxing the
ability of the JTextPane.  Can someone help me out?

Try this

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

huh?
do try things out before you post them. 
That is equivalent to

"Heres a string".setFont(....);

and besides which, you can't have multiple fonts in a TextArea

Very easy answer, You can't do that with TextArea.
