Java FX: inline setStyle not working for fontfamily - javafx

Question

The style is getting applied to font-size, boldstyle, italic style but not working for font-family.
Here is the syntax of the code.
public void setFontFamily() {
String family = (String) fontFamily.getValue();
textPreview.setText(family);
fontName = "-fx-font-family:" + (String) fontFamily.getValue() + ";";
previewText = "-fx-text:" + (String) fontFamily.getValue() + ";";
setFontPreviewProperties();
model.setFontValue(family);
}
private void setFontPreviewProperties() {
javafx.scene.text.Font selectedFont = javafx.scene.text.Font.font((String) fontFamily.getValue(), fontWeight,
fontPosture, size);
model.setFontFamily(selectedFont);
textPreview.setFont(selectedFont);
previewStyle = fontSize +fontName+ previewText+ boldStyle + italicStyle + underlineStyle;// fontName is not working here, everything else is working.
textPreview.setStyle(previewStyle);
}

Here is a sample app that could probably help you along the way.
import java.util.List;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.collections.FXCollections;
import javafx.collections.ObservableList;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ListView;
import javafx.scene.control.TextArea;
import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.scene.text.Font;
import javafx.scene.text.FontPosture;
import javafx.scene.text.FontWeight;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
/**

public class JavaFXApplication127 extends Application
{
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage)
{
FontWeight fontWeight = FontWeight.BOLD;
FontPosture fontPosture = FontPosture.ITALIC;
double fontSize = 12;
TextField textField = new TextField();
TextArea textArea = new TextArea();
VBox vBox = new VBox(textField, textArea);
ListView<String> listView = new ListView();
List<String> familiesList = Font.getFamilies();
ObservableList<String> familiesObservableList = FXCollections.observableArrayList(familiesList);
listView.setItems(familiesObservableList);
listView.getSelectionModel().selectedItemProperty().addListener((Obs, oldFamily, newFamily) -> {
Font font = Font.font(newFamily, fontWeight, fontPosture, fontSize);//This is probably all you need.
textField.setText(newFamily);
textArea.setText(newFamily + System.lineSeparator() + System.lineSeparator() + "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs");
textArea.setFont(font);
});
HBox root = new HBox(listView, vBox);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 700, 650);
primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
