Re: Very uneven kerning with the default 11 pt font on Windows

It uses the Java version packed with XXE:

c:\Program Files (x86)\XMLmind_XML_Editor\bin\jre64\bin>.\java.exe -version
openjdk version "14.0.2" 2020-07-14
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 14.0.2+12-46)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0.2+12-46, mixed mode)
