I did the above first try, and then the issue was fixed and I could get the
appropriate source view (see attached file).
Even without replacing the jar file,


Yes, that's right.

Note that in v7.2, we'll keep the new feature implemented in the patched  
edit_source_text_docformat.jar we sent you:


---
It's now possible to choose a font family other than "Monospaced" for  
the XML source view. This is done using the "Tree view fonts and colors"  
dialog box.

it seems the view is displayed correctly by making the font normal.
I will use the above workaround to display the source view correctly in the 
company.


OK.

Note that the workaround may be implemented automatically by forcing  
user preference treeViewFontsAndColors. This is done by starting XXE  
this way (everything on 1 line):


---
xxe -putpref treeViewFontsAndColors  
"SansSerif;SansSerif;Monospaced;ff;e0f0f0;808080;8b008b;008b8b;8b;00;8b1c62;006400;f0f0f0;ffe0e0;e0ffe0"

---

See -putpref in  
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/command_line_usage.html


See treeViewFontsAndColors in  
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/preferenceKeys.html






I appreciate your cooperation and I expect the issue will be completely fixed
in the future version.


I'm really sorry but we don't see how to completely fix this issue as we  
don't have a way to reproduce the issue here at XMLmind.


I understand very well that this workaround makes both the tree view and  
source view less readable. Sorry again.

In 6.7 XXE, the XML source view works correctly like the attached image
"67_xml_source_view.jpg."
I also attached the image "71_xml_source_view.jp" captured in the
XXE v7.1.

Other users in the company also says 6.7 has no problem in terms of XML source 
view.


OK.






One more question: are there similar problems in the styled view or in the
tree view? Or it is just the source view?


I think it is just the XML source view.


OK.

I'll see what I can do and I'll get back to you in the next few days.







In the image which you attached in the previous e-mail, the used font
is different from the one in my source view.


I did the screenshot on my Linux box. See new attached screenshot on  
Windows. Still no problem.






My XXE use "MS Gothic" font.
Standard Japanese fonts are different depending on the Windows versions.
If I can change the font in the source view, I want to try other fonts.
If possible, would you let me know how to change fonts.


In principle, you cannot do that.

The XML source view uses a "logical font" called "Monospaced". A  
"logical font" may comprise several physical fonts (like "MS Gothic"). A  
 "logical font" is specified in a system file which is part of the Java  
 runtime. Excerpts from "C:\Program  
Files\Java\jre1.8.0_102\lib\fontconfig.properties.src":

I updated JRE to "Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_101", but
the issue was not fixed.


OK.





And I think I did not do specific sequence of actions after installing XXE.


OK.





This issue was not found for XXE v.6.7 with the same JRE.
This issue happens only for XXE v.7.1.

My co-worker says that font size calculation of XXE may have
problem under the Japanese environment.


Yes.





I think you can reproduce the problem if you can try on the Japanese 
environment.
I attached a sample DITA file which contains Japanese characters, and the jpg 
file
which was captured when it was displayed in the XML source view.
But I am not sure whether this file helps to reproduce the problem.


Not when you don't use the Japanese environment. See attached  
screenshot. Works fine for me, even when I use ja-JP as my default locale.


I have no access to the Japanese environment. (In fact, I have no idea  
of what is the Japanese environment. Sorry. Is it Japanese Windows?  
Japanese Java?)


If you are 100% sure that it worked in XXE v.6.7, then I may try to find  
 what has changed in the source view between 6.7 and 7.1 in terms of  
font  management.


If I find something, I'll send you a patched xxe.jar for you to try it  
in your working environment.


Please confirm that you are 100% sure that it worked in XXE v.6.7.

One more question: are there similar problems in the styled view or in  
the tree view? Or it is just the source view?

Thank you for your prompt replay.

Please find the attached text file which was copied from the "Help|About XMLmind
XML Editor" dialog box.

Could this issue be solved in the version 7.1 or later of XXE?


--> I didn't manage to reproduce the problem here, using our Windows 7,  
64-bit, en-US computer running the very latest Java 8 runtime  
(1.8.0_102). Everything worked fine for me.


May be this happens in the XML source view only after you do a specific  
sequence of actions? If this case, please tell us how to reproduce this  
issue here at XMLmind.




--> For now, this problem has been reported only on a Mac, having a  
non-Retina screen, running Apple Java 1.6. The suggested (and tested)  
workaround was to upgrade to latest Java 8 runtime. Mailing list thread:  
http://www.xmlmind.com/pipermail/xmleditor-support/2016-September/011569.html


Therefore I'll suggest that you upgrade your Windows computer to the  
very latest Java 8 runtime. (You are currently using older 1.8.0_66.)


If this does not fix the problem, please send us another email and we'll  
try something else.

No, this is a clearly bug and almost certainly a Java bug.

Which Java runtime are you using?

The simplest is to send us the contents of the "Help|About XMLmind XML  
Editor" dialog box. How to do this is explained here:

 The Copy button found in the About dialog box copies to the
