Having heard rave reviews of it, I installed jEdit under 7.10 to evaluate as a

that loads of the much-vaunted plugins won't install, it's the general
appearance of the thing that is appalling. The font rendering gives me a
headache. Am I doing something wrong? Is there something I need to know? I
can manage without jEdit but then I've yet to find an editor that suits my
purposes precisely and I want to believe the good things I've heard about
jEdit.

Hi Rosie.

I am using Jedit for many years, on Fedora then Ubuntu 7.10, with no
"headache" problem and the font is quite perfect. I am a PHP programmer
and the rendering and colors are really good and I see no difference
with other text editor.
So I really don't understand what you mean by "bad font rendering". Is
this happen only with Jedit ? Dis you check the font in the Glogal Options ?

By the way I am using Jedit 4.3.pre12 on Java 1.6.0.03 (check the About
of Jedit)....maybe a Java problem...

Perhaps in this same vein I use good old joe to do my general vi
stuff and just got to writing some C code. To my surprise when I used
the title for a file as filename.c joe started using colors and
indenting for me after the {. I was surprised and kind of pleased. Old
joe got colors.
