Styled text+Image in JTable

Question

Hi all java guru...
I have a JTable and i would like to add dynamically in any cell styledText (e.g. bold,underline,italics,etc) and image with the features to align styledText on left/right of the image.
I think that i must use CustomTableModel to maintain styledText information and some CustomTableCellRenderer clas that handles my cells. Is this correct? If somebody have already had this problem please can help me? Or drive me in some example that can help me.
Can i realize it using DefaultTableModel only ??
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
