It looks like the mapping of font styles to font names is broken for some of the fonts.  There is a 'Arial Narrow MT Bold Italic' font so when specifying 
Font("Arial Narrow MT", Font.BOLD + Font.ITALIC, 12), I would expect to see Bold and Italic text, but the text is rendered plain.  A getAllFonts() call shows this info :

Arial Narrow MT, family=Arial Narrow MT
Arial Narrow MT Bold, family=Arial Narrow MT
Arial Narrow MT Bold Italic, family=Arial Narrow MT
Arial Narrow MT Italic, family=Arial Narrow MT

So the bold + italic style is there for Arial Narrow MT.  To reproduce compile and run the attached program.

Solaris 2.6, beta4-K build.

only intrinsic family names can have styles applied, others names from getAllFonts are final, and applied styles are ignored.
You can apply styles to: monospaced, serif, sansserif, dialog, dialoginput, etc.

I want to know that if there is some custom made TRUE TYPE FONT.
Will it work?
I will soon try and give my comment on it. 
If someone has already tried then please let me know.

I tested a custom made TTF and it worked.

the example contains getFontMetrics().Can you update the code to 1.2 because
getFontMetrics is deprecated.

Is There any Specific codes(supported by java) to denote 
each fonts in the system ?

Can you please state clearly WHAT exactly has been fixed in 
this bug? I am using JDK 1.3.1. on Windows NT. When drawing 
a String with font "Times New Roman", it always comes out 
bold. When drawing a String with font "Courier new", I can 
apply bold or plain face successfully. Neither "Times New 
Roman" nor "Courier New" seems to be an intrinsic family 
name. So why is this working in one case and not in the 
other? Any hints would be GREATLY appreciated.
