How do I set the font of some items in a JList (some bold, some plain)? I think I use cell renderer, but how does that work? Thanks

Not sure about cell rendering, but does this help ...

Font font = new Font("Helvetica", Font.BOLD, 16);
JList jl = new JList();
jl.setFont(font);

Sorry if its not what you are looking for !

Thanks, but this changes the whole list, I need to be able to change the font for only certain items
