FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0-beta2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-beta2-b51)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-beta2-b51, mixed mode, sharing)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
This code:

  System.out.println(Font.decode("monospaced-plain-14"));

yields this output:

  java.awt.Font[family=Dialog,name=monospaced-plain,style=plain,size=14]


The problem is with these lines from the decode() method:

if (styleName.equals("bolditalic")) {
fontStyle = Font.BOLD | Font.ITALIC;
} else if (styleName.equals("italic")) {
fontStyle = Font.ITALIC;
} else if (styleName.equals("bold")) {
fontStyle = Font.BOLD;
} else {
/* this string isn't any of the expected styles, so
* assume its part of the font name
*/
styleIndex = sizeIndex;
if (str.charAt(styleIndex-1) == sepChar) {
styleIndex--;
}
}

If no style is specified, it defaults to plain, but if "plain" is specified,
it's treated as part of the family name.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version tiger-beta1


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Instead, e.g., of "monospaced-plain-14", use "monospaced-14" and let the style
default to "plain".

Release Regression From : 1.4.2
The above release value was the last known release where this
bug was known to work. Since then there has been a regression.
