e655. Drawing Text with Mixed Styles

This example applies a new font and background color to a part of the text. You can apply styles to as many parts of the text as you need. See TextAttributes for available styles.
    // Apply styles to text
    AttributedString astr = new AttributedString("aString");
    astr.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FONT, font, start, end);
    astr.addAttribute(TextAttribute.BACKGROUND, color, start, end);
    
    // Draw mixed-style text
    TextLayout tl = new TextLayout(astr.getIterator(), g2d.getFontRenderContext());
    tl.draw(g2d, x, y);
