Dynamic styles in JTextPane

Question

I am implementing a client which has to print text whose style depends on the strings it receives from the server. I initially implemented different styles, one for each colour I had to support; but what if I want to use a particular colour in addiction to a particular font type (i.e. bold)? Is there a way to retrieve the style currently used and dinamically modify its parameters at runtime? If I can't do this with JTextPane, what should I use instead?
One last question: Is it possible to use a justfied allignment with JTextPane?
Thanks for your attention.

Thanks for the answer, but I'm not sure I've understood what you've said.
Did you try creating a "bold" style and applying both the color and bold style to the same text?I've created a bold style and color styles, but how can I apply two or more styles at once? I'm using the following appendText method to insert a new string into the jTextPane:
public void appendText(String msg, String style) {
        msg = msg + "\n";
        javax.swing.text.Document doc = areaTesto.getStyledDocument();
        try {
        doc.insertString(doc.getLength(), msg, areaTesto.getStyle(style));
        } catch(javax.swing.text.BadLocationException ble) {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Errore nell'aggiornamento del testo", "Errore", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
        areaTesto.setCaretPosition(doc.getLength());
    }Given this, how can I implement your suggestion?
As it should be clear by now I'm not comfortable with styles, documents and attributes, so please be as clear and simple as possible in your explanation.
Thank you again.
