You need to specify an AttributeSet for the characters, which can 
include a font.  You can insert characters with a given AttributeSet 
and you can modify the AttributeSet for existing characters.

Swing text processing is a fairly complex topic.  I hear one of the 
best books on the subject is "Core Swing: Advanced Programming" by 
Kim Topley:

   http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0130832928/qid=1023799233

I have not read this book, but Topley's earlier Swing book was very 
good and I have heard good things about this one.
