How does XXE selects the font used by the Character tool? One of my users reported that, on Windows, some characters that are unprintable according to Unicode were displayed by the Character tool and the styled view as printable characters. For example, 0x96 and 97 were shown as en- and em-dash. These characters were "correctly" encoded in the XML file by XXE, so they quite logically didn't make it into the final PDF document (appeared as empty rectangle). My assumption is that the Character tool and styled view use some default system font (in Windows) which has incorrect Unicode mapping (for that user, at least), but I haven't verified that. > > > > Is this something that can be customized? > > Currently the answer is no. > Do you mean we can't change that font? Even by changing the default font set in Java's font.properties? It would be nice if that tool could use the same font as the one used where the caret is located, but this may be difficult with more than 1 styled view. Regards, Benoit
