Hope this helps - you can then use something like this:
String fontName = "SansSerif";
Font font = Font.getFont(fontName);
UIManager.put("TextPane.font", font);
UIManager.put("TextField.font", font);
UIManager.put("TextArea.font", font);
Or for a StyledDocument:
public static void applyLogicalStyle(JTextPane tp,StyledDocument doc)
{
Style s = tp.addStyle("general",null);
StyleConstants.setAlignment(s,StyleConstants.ALIGN_LEFT);
StyleConstants.setFontFamily(s, "SansSerif");
StyleConstants.setFontSize(s, 12);
doc.setLogicalStyle(0,s);
}//end applyLogicalStyle
