Hello,

In the next version of Oxygen the default editor font for a fresh 
installation (no previous version was installed on that computer) will 
be a fixed width font on all platforms. If it is not a fresh 
installation the editor font can be reset to the default one with the 
button "Restore Defaults" in the Preferences -> Fonts panel.


Regards,
Sorin
