DESCRIPTION
-----------
When creating a new Font object with Font(name, type, size)
constructor, a problem can occur if I'm using a non-standard
font family name like "Arial". (With any standard font family
like "Serif" things are OK).

The problem is that if I create a Font with Font.PLAIN type
the Font displays properly in a JTextField.
But then I change the field's font for the same font with
ITALIC type and the font still appears PLAIN.

It only appears in ITALIC if I also change the size at the same
time.

I got the "arial" family name from
GraphicsEnvironment.getAvailableFontFamilyNames()
