The method equals returns false for identically initialized instances of FontMetrics. It happens only when JAVA2D_USEPLATFORMFONT enviroment variable is not seted.
 
 See the example and its output.
 

This bug is introduced in JDK1.2-beta4 and later, all works correctly in JDK1.2-beta3.

------------------Example-----------------------------------

import java.awt.*;

public class Test{
    public static void main(String argv[]) {
          Button c= new Button();
          Font f = new Font("test",Font.BOLD,12);
if(!c.getFontMetrics(f).equals(c.getFontMetrics(f)))
System.out.println("Failed:"+c.getFontMetrics(f)+"!="+c.getFontMetrics(f));
          else
System.out.println("OKAY");


    }
}

-------------------Output------------------------------------
Failed:sun.awt.font.FontDesignMetrics[font=java.awt.Font[family=Times,name=test,style=bold,size=12]ascent=9, descent=3, height=14]!=sun.awt.font.FontDesignMetrics[font=java.awt.Font[family=Times,name=test,style=bold,size=12]ascent=9, descent=3, height=14]
