As I'm typing in the editor the cursor gets displaced from where the edits are occurring. As I move farther from the left margin, the greater the displacement becomes. By the time the cursor is about 25 characters away from the left margin, where the cursor appears is 3-4 characters off from where the edits occur. Is there any explanation for this?
Also, when I select text, the text kind of smears like dough under a rolling pin. Very strange.
Dev-PHP 2.0.12 and WinXP with latest updates...
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
yes. here is the explanation:
synedit (used component for dev-php) cannot handle unicode-fonts with different char widths. use a fixed width font - then it should work.

On the other hand, the version 2.0.13.243 incorporates the most recent developments - with Unicode - from the SynEdit project ;)
Thanks, what I thought was a fixed font, turned our not to be...
Hi,
Next version (> 2.0.13.246) will limit the list of fonts in the 'General Options' Font Dialog to :
- true type
- fixed pitch
- existing
At least 'Courrier New' and 'Lucida' will remain, unless someone reports that UniSynEdit is variable pitch compliant.
Regards,
Pierre.
