Hi,
From what we tested the fonts in Java do not look the same as in native
applications. For example setting a Courier New in oXygen and playing
with all the anti-aliasing options available gives a different rendering
than setting the same font in a native application. Our general feeling
was that the monospaced fonts set in Java are uglier :) thus the
decision to use a different type of font.
On Mac there was an issue with the fonts that forced the usage of a
fixed-width font:

Please note that once you set a font that should be taken automatically
by new versions of oXygen when you upgrade from a version to another.
Best Regards,
George

Yes, and more, oXygen allows you to configure not only the editor font but
also the font for UI controls. See Options->Preferences -- Fonts.
Out of interest, why isn't the default font not a monospaced font??
I don't know what other people use with oXygen, but the first thing I
do is switch to a fixed width font (monospaced size 12) otherwise
single quotes within double quotes (eg select="'some text'") really
strain your eyes.
The font for the editor in Netbeans is monospaced by default, and I
think most other IDEs are, which is why it's a little unusual for the
default font to not be monospaced...
