Hi,

When I use a highlighter in a JTextPane, the font color is not setting as
say in AttributeSet.

I use java 1.4.2_08 on Mandrake 10.0.

How is it possible to use both higlighter and font color ?

I have program which reproduce the thing :

package ahan;

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;

public class HiglightAndForeground
{
 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
 {
   JFrame windo;
   JTextPane textpane;
   SimpleAttributeSet attributes;
   DefaultHighlighter.DefaultHighlightPainter light;
   
   windo = new JFrame();
   windo.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
   textpane = new JTextPane();
   windo.getContentPane().add(textpane);
   attributes = new SimpleAttributeSet();
   StyleConstants.setForeground(attributes, Color.MAGENTA);
   textpane.setCharacterAttributes(attributes, false);
   textpane.setText("A l'heure vague où les fantômes en grand nombre");
   light = new DefaultHighlighter.DefaultHighlightPainter(Color.YELLOW);
   textpane.getHighlighter().addHighlight(4, 15, light);    
   windo.pack();
   windo.show();
 }
}

The color of text is magenta, but in the highlighter area it is black.

The problem exists only with java 1.4.2_08, not with 1.4.2 or 5.0... but I
use java 1.4.2_08 :-)

Great things.
