Bold fonts in my page layout application started failing under Java 5
on the mac. My app searches the system fonts for something like Arial-
Bold, but when I make a glyph vector out of it, it renders as plain.
My theory is that the system fonts are being created with new Font
(name, Font.PLAIN) and that is confusing Java 5 on the Mac. My test
case below at least shows that Java 5 Mac behaves differently than
all other platforms/versions I've used, though I've always been
confused as to how the style flag conflicts with font names. On Java
5 Mac, it draws the first Arial Bold text as plain - everyone else
draws it as bold. I don't know how to determine if the system fonts
from GraphicsEnvironment.getAllFonts is creating fonts with Font.PLAIN.
Anyone else seen something similar? If not, I'll file a bug.

GlyphVector gv1 = f1.createGlyphVector(c, "Hello World");
g2.drawGlyphVector(gv1, 10, 20);
// Draw Hello World Arial Bold style PLAIN
Font f2 = new Font("Arial-BoldMT", Font.PLAIN, 12);
g.setFont(f2);
GlyphVector gv2 = f2.createGlyphVector(c, "Hello World");
g2.drawGlyphVector(gv2, 10, 40);
// Draw Hello World Arial Bold style BOLD
Font f3 = new Font("Arial-BoldMT", Font.BOLD, 12);
g.setFont(f3);
GlyphVector gv3 = f3.createGlyphVector(c, "Hello World");
g2.drawGlyphVector(gv3, 10, 60);
}
});

frame.show();
