A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Constructor java.awt.Font(String....) allows a negative font size.
I think it should throw an exception or assume a default size at worst/
For now, components with a negative font size simply do not appear.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Start provided code.

The window will be completely empty. Switching the font size to 1 will result
in a tiny label appearing.


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import java.awt.Font;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;

public class FontTest extends JFrame {
public FontTest() {
Font f = new Font("Dialog", Font.PLAIN, -1);
System.out.println("FontSize: "+f.getSize());
JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello");
label.setFont(f);
getContentPane().add(label);
setSize(200,200);
setVisible(true);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
new FontTest();
}
}
