JSpinner reflects new font only once at runtime. After this even if setFont is invoked, it does not reflect the new font.

Compile and Run JSpinnerTest.java

A new Font is set in loop at runtime. Its noted that JSpinner reflects the new font for first loop. On subsequent loop, even though jSpinner.getFont returns the updated font, its not reflected on screen.
Adding "JSpinnerTest.java" here so it will be visible to the community.
