Using the Font(String name,int style, int size) to create a new Font
when size is large (say 2222) causes the user's session to lock up.

A JCK test can be used to illustrate the problem. Run on either a
sparc or x86 Solaris 2.6 system.

Once the test window comes up:
(1) Set the Choice (initially labeled setClip) to setFont.
(2) In the TextArea change the "18" to "2222".
(3) Click on the Apply button.
(4) Wait.
