[Bug swing/24033] New: JComponent.getFont() should return null

[david dot gilbert at object-refinery dot com]

A UI delegate should install its default font on a JComponent only if the
existing font is null or implements UIResource.  In GNU Classpath, a JComponent
that has no font set yet still returns a default font (from the getFont() method
in java.awt.Component).  This is preventing the UI delegate (for example, the
BasicComboBoxUI class that I'm working on right now) from installing its default
font.  

I have committed a test in Mauve
(gnu.testlet.javax.swing.JComponent.getFont.java) that checks for this.  It
passed for me on JDK 1.4.2 and fails with the latest GNU Classpath from CVS.
