setting font of selected text

Jan 1st, 2005

I know how to se the font of a regular JTextArea, but how would I get an reference to the selected text and only select that?

Here is what I have so far:

 Help with Code Tags 
 Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
setFont(new Font(font, style = Font.BOLD, size));
setFont(new Font(font, style = Font.BOLD, size));

this works but changes whole area

 textArea2.getSelectedText().setFont(new Font("sansserif",Font.BOLD, 12));
 textArea2.getSelectedText().setFont(new Font("sansserif",Font.BOLD, 12));
