Hello Jean-Luc,
We are not very familiar with Tamil but discrepancies like this are
usually caused by the use of different fonts for rendering in the Text
and Author pages.
In the Oxygen Preferences->"Appearance / Fonts" page there is a font for
"Editor" - for the Text editing mode and a default font for the Author
visual editing page. They are different so this might be the cause, your
friend could try to set the "Editor" font to the same font used for
Author for example or to try different other fonts as well, maybe she
will find a better font to render Tamil on Mac.
Regards,
Radu

Followup to my previous message (included below)
It occurs to me that my question might be clarified if I posted a
direct comparison between the what is seen on (my) Window screen when
oXygen is in text mode and what is seen on the screen of that friend
who runs oxygen on a Mac.
What baffles me is the difference of treatment between the "M" element
(line 13), where TamilRendering is fine, & the "l" element (line 15 to
18), where proper rendering fails.
An extract of the file itself is as follows.
Thanks for your future help

PREVIOUS MESSAGE
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Greetings,
I have recently shared some XML files with a friend who has just
bought and installed oXygen on a Macintosh. She has sent me some print
screens.
There is a strange rendering of some Tamil vowels when in TextMode,
but AuthorMode is fine. I am puzzled. I have not seen that behaviour
in oXygen under Windows.
Do you have suggestions?
Thanks for your help
