Hi Lois,
I ran into this problem with several JTextFields.  I needed to be able to
'toggle' the text between Plain and Bold.

I don't know why the setFont won't accept a change of style alone.  I ended up
having a Font variable with the Plain font setting and using that to reset the
values.

Example
JTextField aField = new JTextField("some text");
//aField's font style = Plain
Font defaultFont = aField.getFont();

//set to BOLD
aField.setFont(new Font(aField.getFont().getFontName(), Font.BOLD, 14);

//now need to reset to plain
aField.setFont(defaultFont);

Hope that helps.
Jackie
