Oxygen XML Forum

Oxygen has been working great for me and I haven't upgraded it or Java RTE, but all of a sudden I've been having spacing issues in the Oxygen environment. The only thing that I've changed on my system is installing a couple Adobe products (Acrobat and Framemaker), but I remember after installing those I opened Oxygen and it was fine.

The biggest problem is that in the validation errors area, about the top 15% of every line is cut off, making it difficult to read the lines. Then in the document area, each XML document I open almost looks double-spaced because there's a lot of white space between each line.

In the outline area, I'm getting the same cut-off problem but to a lesser extent so it's still readable.

Has anyone else seen this issue? Any ideas on how to resolve it? I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Java RTE and then uninstalled and reinstalled Oxygen.

fyi, I found a workaround for this issue. I changed my font preference from default to Verdana 12 pt and then checked the box to use the same font for the GUI. That seems to have fixed it for some reason!

The double spacing and cut lines are caused probably by some standard Windows fonts replaced by installing an Adobe application. The problem is described here. You can change the font used to edit documents and display the GUI components in Options -> Preferences -> Fonts to a font not replaced by the Adobe application, for example Tahoma or Courier New. Other alternative is to uninstall the Adobe products including the Adobe fonts and reinstall the applications without the fonts which you plan to use in <oXygen/> and which should remain the original Windows fonts.

Thanks for the explanation!
