textArea.setStyle("-fx-text-fill: black;" + "-fx-background-color: white;" +
"-fx-font-family: 'Lucida Console';" + "-fx-font-weight: bold;");
Doesn't produce bold text in the TextArea.

However, the above code changes the font and runs without errors.

Steps to demonstrate the issue:

1.

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.TextArea;
import javafx.scene.layout.*;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class TestCase extends Application {
@Override
    public void start(Stage stage) {
BorderPane border = new BorderPane();

HBox hb = new HBox();
border.setTop(hb);

TextArea textArea = new TextArea();
textArea.setStyle( "-fx-text-fill: black;" +
"-fx-background-color: white;" +
"-fx-font-family: 'Lucida Console';" +
"-fx-font-weight: bold;");
hb.getChildren().addAll(textArea);

        Scene scene = new Scene(border);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.setResizable(false);
        stage.show();
}
}

2. javac TestCase.java

3. java TestCase

4. it doesn't produce bold text in the TextArea

5. If I have supposedly taken out the quotes in the font family, the font is
bold

e.g -fx-font-family: Lucida Console;"

6. However, the text doesn't display in the font I selected.
