The following JCK1.2beta2 tests fail under jdk1.2beta4:
api/java_awt/Font/manual.html#GetFamily

This is a compatibility problem for jdk1.2beta4.
The tests do not fail under jdk1.2beta3, jdk1.1.7.

The reason is the incompatible API change:
Method Font.getFamily() returns the 'awt.font.fontname' property to provide
family name in jdk1.1.x, jdk1.2beta3. In jdk1.2beta4 it returns empty string.

==== Here is the test demonstrating the bug ====
import java.awt.Font;

public class TestFont0001 {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Font f=new Font("SomeName", Font.PLAIN, 12);
    System.out.println(f);
    System.out.println("Family: " + f.getFamily());
  }
}
