Hi Lou,

An operating system has both physical fonts and logical fonts. A logical font can map various parts of its range to various other physical fonts:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/2d/text/fonts.html

Oxygen is a Java application and it has access to an array of fonts, some logical (like "Monospaced" and "Serif") and other physical. So "Monospaced" probably uses a variety of physical fonts for various character range intervals. But as an application running on top of this abstraction we do not really know how the operating system combines ranges for a monospaced font.

Regards,
Radu

find out which actual font is being used? (I'd like to know because it
seems to have many characters which other fonts don't, notably OCS
characters). Or is it a font specific to oXygen?
