JTextComponent is the base class for text components.

JTextComponent can be formated by ASFont, but some times you need complex format,then ASFont is not enough, so you can set a EmptyFont instance to the JTextComponent, it will do nothing for the format, then you can call setTextFormat, setDefaultTextFormat to format the text with TextFormat instances. And don't forgot to call revalidate if you think the component size should be change after that. Because these method will not call revalidate automatically.
