Any reason for bold and italic not nesting with StyleConstants?

I have this code:

privatevoid setBoldOn(){

StyleConstants.setBold(set,true);//this method, and the three following it, could well be lines of code instead of methods.

}

privatevoid setBoldOff(){

StyleConstants.setBold(set,false);

}

privatevoid setItalicsOn(){

StyleConstants.setItalic(set,true);

}

privatevoid setItalicsOff(){

StyleConstants.setItalic(set,false);

}

and:

currentDocument.insertString(currentDocument.getLength(), currentToken, set);

And for some reason, they don't seem to work together, any ideas why they refuse to nest?

Thank-you in advance.

Edit:

Where:private StyledDocument currentDocument;

private SimpleAttributeSet set =new SimpleAttributeSet();
