Certain fonts not available?

Post by dep »

How come many of my installed fonts are not showing up in the editor for use as an editor font? My favorite programmer font is not available in Oxygen for some reason, though it IS installed as a windows font.

Hello,

If the font is not available in <oXygen/> the Java virtual machine cannot load it from Windows. That happens in all Java applications which run with the same JVM. If you use a JVM version 1.4.2 you can try to run <oXygen/> with version 1.5.0. Also if it is a TrueType font you have the alternative of copying the .ttf files files of the font from the Windows fonts directory to [JVM-home-directory]/lib/fonts and restart <oXygen/>.

Regards,
Sorin
