Something seems to have broken between 3.7.1 and 3.8.1 with the font support.
A year or so ago, we created a modified version of the Java fontconfig.properties file, following the instructions that you pointed us to here: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/intl/fontconfig.html This allows us to use special fonts for the Bengali and IPA ranges of Unicode. We have to copy that fontconfig.properties file over to the new Java lib directory every time a new version of Java comes out, but other than that this has worked OK. (Well, I couldn't get it to work at all for the Arabic/Urdu code range, but that's another story.) Until yesterday. We upgraded from XXE 3.7.1 to 3.8.1 (Pro), and this stopped working. All my Bengali and IPA characters turned to boxes. XXE reports that it's using "Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.6.0_06", and I verified that we have the modified fontconfig.properties file in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_06\lib\fontconfig.properties (the same file worked fine with 3.7.1). So has something changed to break the font support in 3.8.1? If so, we would like to revert to 3.7.1 until this gets fixed; but we will also need several plug-ins for 3.7.1 (including the WebDav plugin), which are no longer on the XMLmind website. How can we install these? -- Mike Maxwell "We signify something too narrow when we say: Man is a grammatical animal.
