A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In the documentation for the static "decode" method of Font, the following sentence is repeated twice in a row:
"If str is null, a new Font is returned with the family name "dialog", a size of 12 and a PLAIN style."


The last sentence in this paragraph:
 The default size is 12 and the default style is PLAIN. If you don't specify a valid size, the returned Font has a size of 12. If you don't specify a valid style, the returned Font has a style of PLAIN. If you do not provide a valid font family name in the str argument, this method still returns a valid font with a family name of "dialog". To determine what font family names are available on your system, use the GraphicsEnvironment.getAvailableFontFamilyNames() method. If str is null, a new Font is returned with the family name "dialog", a size of 12 and a PLAIN style. If str is null, a new Font is returned with the name "dialog", a size of 12 and a PLAIN style.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The sentence is fine, but should only appear once.

ACTUAL -
The sentence appears twice in a row.
