--- Here is the javadoc (jdk1.2beta4F) ---
    /**
     * Returns the specified font using the name passed in.
     * @param str the name.
     * @since JDK1.1
     */
    public static Font decode(String str)
---

Font.decode of jdk1.2beta4F is incompatible with the one of 1.1.x.
decode("Name-bold") returns new Font("Name", Font.PLAIN, 12) under 1.1.x
but returns new Font("Name", Font.BOLD, 12) under 1.2beta4F.
This causes jck1.1.6, jck1.2beta2 test failure:
api/java_awt/Font/manual.html#Decode

It is not crear from the spec which code is correct.
JCK regression problem cannot be fixed unless the precise spec is available.
The spec should be updated.
