A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Lucida Console Bold is not monospaced as it should be (specifically space). Italic and Plain display as expected. The Bold font space character is not the same width as all of the other characters. This worked fine in 1.3.1_01.

In my test case below I print out the char widths of some randomly chosen characters for Lucida Console Bold 10 and every char has a width of 7 except the space which has a width of 6.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
This is pretty easy to reproduce. Just create a JTextArea and set the font to Lucida Console Bold. The size of the font is irrelevant. In my test case below, I set it to 10.



EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I expect all chars to be the same width with the Lucida Console Bold font.
ACTUAL -
Print out from running my diagnostic class:

S:\test\class>java FontTester
java.awt.Font[family=Lucida Console,name=Lucida Console,style=bold,size=10]
Width of char c: 7
Width of char n: 7
Width of char w: 7
Width of char N: 7
Width of char W: 7
Width of char X: 7
Width of char Z: 7
Width of char x: 7
Width of char z: 7
Width of char y: 7
Width of char m: 7
Width of char SPACE: 6


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
