    Rich Text Support in controls will be provided by JavaFX8 – http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-23077.
    Here is the CSS properties that are available for TextInputControl-http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/doc-files/cssref.html#textinputcontrol

    The possible workarounds are:-

    1. Use a Rich Text Editor –
      http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/ui_controls/editor.htm
    2. Put the text with different formatting in a HBox.
    3. Draw them separately on the canvas.
