Thread: Connecting Two Different ActionListeners

I have one Actionlistener that can change my text to Italic... And I have one action listener that can change my text to bold.. But I just wrote up these IF ELSE statements and they do NOT work... How can I get the textarea to know that BOTH check boxes have been selected and not just one?

		jcBold.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
				if(jcBold.isSelected()){
				Font font1 = new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 14);
				jtaOutput.setFont(font1);
				}else if (jcBold.isSelected() && jcItalic.isSelected()){
 
				Font font2 = new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD + Font.ITALIC, 14);
				jtaOutput.setFont(font2);
				}else {
					Font font1 = new Font("Times Roman", Font.PLAIN, 12);
					jtaOutput.setFont(font1);
 
				}
			}
		});
		panel_1.add(jcBold);
 
		jcItalic = new JCheckBox("Italic");
		jcItalic.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
				if(jcItalic.isSelected()){
				Font font1 = new Font("Serif", Font.ITALIC, 14);
				jtaOutput.setFont(font1);
				}else if (jcBold.isSelected() && jcItalic.isSelected()){
				System.out.println("1");
				Font font2 = new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD + Font.ITALIC, 14);
				jtaOutput.setFont(font2);
				}else {
					Font font1 = new Font("Times Roman", Font.PLAIN, 12);
					jtaOutput.setFont(font1);
 
				}
			}
		});

Let both actionListeners call one method that determines the current selection of the checkboxes and sets the new font.

int state = Font.PLAIN;
if(jcItalic.isSelected()){
  state += Font.ITALIC;
}
if(jcBold.isSelected()){
  state += Font.BOLD;
}
Font font = new Font("Serif", state, size);
