   * Convert the value of the given Attribute object into an output object of the

   * Returns the Font that the str
   * argument describes.
   * To ensure that this method returns the desired Font,
   * format the str parameter in
   * one of two ways:
   * 
   * "fontfamilyname-style-pointsize" or 

   * "fontfamilyname style pointsize"

   * in which style is one of the three
   * case-insensitive strings:
   * "BOLD", "BOLDITALIC", or
   * "ITALIC", and pointsize is a decimal
   * representation of the point size.
   * For example, if you want a font that is Arial, bold, and
   * a point size of 18, you would call this method with:
   * "Arial-BOLD-18".
   * 
   * The default size is 12 and the default style is PLAIN.
   * If you don't specify a valid size, the returned
   * Font has a size of 12.  If you don't specify
   * a valid style, the returned Font has a style of PLAIN.
   * If you do not provide a valid font family name in
   * the str argument, this method still returns
   * a valid font with a family name of "dialog".
   * To determine what font family names are available on
   * your system, use the
   * {@link GraphicsEnvironment#getAvailableFontFamilyNames()} method.
   * If str is null, a new Font
   * is returned with the family name "dialog", a size of 12 and a
   * PLAIN style.
   * If str is null,
   * a new Font is returned with the name "dialog", a
   * size of 12 and a PLAIN style.
   *
   * @param type Class Data type to which the Attribute's value should be converted
   * @param attr Attribute the attribute, providing the value to be converted.
   * @return the Font object that str

   *         str is null.
