hello

I wish to make some text bold, inside a string, does anyone know how this can be accomplished?

ex. String str = "I need help"; how to make "I" bold?

thanks

I don't think that it is possible using java.lang.String

However if you're using JToolTip you can use html strings to print things out like a web page.

A string is just an array of a characters, which is a block of bits that resides in memory - there is no concept of "bold".

Perhaps you should rephrase your question to describe how you wish to display this string in bold ?
