Font.PLAIN - won't set font style to PLAIN!

Here's a small snipit of the code i've created;

My problem:
-When bold and italic are both false, the font refuses to reset to plain and remains bold.

Code:

---

  public void setStyle(Boolean bold, Boolean italic){
        if(bold == true && italic == false)
            lblMain.setFont(new Font(lblMain.getFont().getFontName(), Font.BOLD, lblMain.getFont().getSize()));
        else if(bold == false && italic == true){
          lblMain.setFont(new Font(lblMain.getFont().getFontName(), Font.ITALIC, lblMain.getFont().getSize()));
        }
        else if(bold ==true && italic == true){
            lblMain.setFont(new Font(lblMain.getFont().getFontName(), Font.BOLD+Font.ITALIC, lblMain.getFont().getSize()));
        }
        else if(bold == false && italic == false){
          lblMain.setFont(new Font(lblMain.getFont().getFontName(), Font.PLAIN, lblMain.getFont().getSize()));
        }
    }

---

here is the code that calls the above method:
(the below code is present in the actionPerformed method of a JFrame that implements ActionListener)

Code:

---

else if(event.getSource() == chkBold || event.getSource() == chkItalic){
            setStyle(chkBold.isSelected(), chkItalic.isSelected());
        }

Please note:
a) I have verified that all components have been registered in the actionPerformed method via the componetName.addActionListener(this);
b) The Italic feature works perfectly fine. When the chkItalic JCheckBox is selected, the lblMain JLabel is changed to Italic and resets when the chkItalic JCheckBox is unselected.

What happens when you use getFamily() instead of getFontName()?

kind regards,

works perfectly!

thanks so much.

I looked at the docs, but must have passed by the getFamily description....
