The default font is bold for a JList (in the Metal LAF). So you would first need to change the default font and then add your HTML string to the ListModel to only bold the text that you want displayed bold. Something like:

String[] items = { "one", "<html>normal <b>bold</b> normal</html>" };
JList list = new JList( items );
list.setFont( list.getFont().deriveFont(Font.PLAIN) );

If you have problems then post your SSCCE demonstrating the problem.

You should be able to tie into the ListCellRenderer. Since the DefaultListCellRenderer extends JLabel, I'd expect there to be some way to wedge in HTML that's getting passed over in the default usage.

Have you tried creating a custom list cell renderer yet? If not, you may wish to give this a try. The tutorials will show you how. Please have a look here:
