[Eric] Editor

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

all these problems may be related to the fact, that a lexer is used to 
highlight the code (e.g. for Python). The lexer style (e.g. font) is 
configured on the Editor->Highlighters->Styles page of the configuration 
dialog. If you don't have a monospaced font configured in there, you may 
observe these strange behaviors. The default font is only used for editors 
not associated with a lexer.

Regards,
Detlev
