RFE: Bad implementation of constructor FontUIResource(Font font)

Name: jk109818 Date: 01/23/2003


FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
build 1.4.1_01-b01

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
the constructor FontUIResource(Font font), doesn't return
a FontUIResource equivalent to the font used.

The implementation of the constructor is
public FontUIResource(Font font) {
  super(font.getName(), font.getStyle(), font.getSize());
}

but you lose lot of info like AffineTransform used in
font object.

a better implementation will be
public FontUIResource(Font font) {
  super(font.getAttributes());
}

if this is not possible to modify this implementation, at
least then add the constructor:

  Public FontUIResource(Map attributes)

otherwise not every font could be used in the MetalTheme
for example.


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
