    Default Combine fonts on JLabel

    I am trying to combine fonts on a JLabel and do not seem to have any success

    JLabel title = new JLabel("Title:");
    //title.setFont(new Font ("Arial",Font.BOLD,10));
    JLabel titleLabel = new JLabel(title.getText() + myRecording.getTitle());
    //titleLabel.setFont(new Font("Book Antiqua",Font.PLAIN,12));
    JLabel fLabel = new JLabel(title.getText() + titleLabel.getText());


    I would like "Title:" and the text returned from getTitle() to have two differend fonts. Is this possible?

    I'm lazy, so I'll give you the tutorial quote (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutori...s/label.html):
    By specifying HTML code in a label's text, you can give the label various characteristics such as multiple lines, multiple fonts or multiple colors. If the label uses just a single color or font, you can avoid the overhead of HTML processing by using the setForeground or setFont method instead. See Using HTML in Swing Components for details.
    Here is the link to Using HTML in Swing Components.
