Hello, Yes, there is a workaround for this: use fixed font for editing, like "Monaco", or "Courier". Also it works if you are using "Optima" font size 12, or "Helvetica" font size 14, 16, .. It is a problem with the font measuring API which changed in Java 1.4...

Hi, Thanks for the new version of Oxygen. In both 2.0 and 2.0.1 Font characters overlap each other, particularly but not only when I select text. I've tried Helvetica and Serif fonts of various sizes. The WIDTH of the overlap is never more than one character I've been using oxygen 1.x because of thi...

At this time, there is no possibility to alter the extension mapping. However, we are considering adding this to a new release, probably 2.0.2.

I analysed the logs and there is no exception listed. Was like the Java VM just stops responding. I have tested again the editor on Linux, Java 1.3, and I obtained the same situation as you. Instead of killing the application with CTRL-C, I have minimise it, then maximise it. The preferences dialog ...

Can you tell me what Linux are you using and what JavaVM ? I reproduced the above steps and it worked smoothly. I use Mandrake 8 + java 1.4.0-b92 I have attached a "log4j.properties" file. This file will initialize the logging system, making the editor to produce a log file "oxygen.lo...

Indeed, the installer may cause problems on Linux, In one case it found an old java installation that was not in my path, and in some cases it could not find the libc 6.0 libraries..
Yes, the best solution on Linux is to have it installed from the "All platforms" distribution.

What Java VM are you using?

Try the commands:

> which java
> java -version

Make sure you do not have installed an old JVM in the /usr/bin.

Looks like the program is not finding the license resource. You can try to copy the "license.key" into the "dicts" folder. Also copy the archive "license.zip" file in the same folder. If this still does not work I will send you a logging file, so we can detect what's wr...

I have changed the Mac OS X distribution, to contain a more robust Font scanning. Please download the kit again from: http://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/MacOSX/oxygen.zip
Make sure you clear first your browser's cache.

Hello, There are several problems on the new Java 1.4.1 for Mac OS X platform when querying the installed fonts. (We did not detect a pattern for reproducing the problem). There is a solution for making the editor avoid calling the buggy API and we will include it in the next release. As an imediate...

Thank you for the detailed instructions!

We tried to run XEP as a post processor, but it has the drawback of generating the output pdf in the same directory as the input FO, with the same name and appending the ".pdf" extension. The command line in the external FO processor shold point to the batch file that starts XEP. For examp...

More about the patch for Info.plist:

The lines beginning with '+' must be added to the file. Do not add the '+' character. The Info.plist file is located into the oxygen.app/Contents directory. (From the Finder ctrl-click on the Oxygen application and choose "Show package contents").

Thank you for the report. We will correct the spelling.

We will fix this in the next version. But no, is not a Microsoft problem; we can make it work in pure Java...

Indeed, there are probelms with the focus and the copy/paste on Apple's Java 1.3.1. We will make a workaround for this in the new version. Also the name of the dialog will be fixed. Thank you.

There are some problems running the Oxygen version 1.2.4 on the Apple's Java 1.4.1. We are trying to fix all problems in the next version. One of our users, Joe McMahon has made a patch for forcing the Oxygen application use the Java 1.3.1 instead of 1.4.1 Here it is: Joe McMahon wrote: Here's a pat...

Hello,

Probably this feature will not enter the next release (2.0), but I am scheduling this for the one to come after (2.1).

Hi. We had some reports about similar behaviour on Debian. On latest Mandrake or RedHat versions this is not happening.
Please check you have the 1.4.1 JRE installed.

Hello Kevin, There are two possible problems: 1. The kit is corrupted. 2. You do not have installed the correct JRE. I think you have downloaded the installation kit without the JRE included. Check that you have the latest JRE on your machine. For this, type in a terminal: java -version Should repor...

When starting Oxygen from the command line, the "oxygen.sh" script assumes the working directory is the same as the installation directory. In order to run the script from any other directory, let say your home dir, you should modify the script like this: --------oxygen.sh----------- cd /o...
