Hi Dale, I really appreciate your taking a look at the code. Alas, since all strings in the interface are scrambled, the Global Options dialog is unintelligable. I tried looking in my .jedit/properties file but didn't notice anything there. The only wild conjecture I have is that it's connected with my deleting the lang_fr.properties file in the QuickNotepad plugin and maybe there's a loose end somewhere from that. all the best, Adam On 10/17/19 3:28 PM, Dale Anson wrote: > I looked at your code on github, and I don't see anything that would > make your jEdit menus and so on have odd fonts.
