Hello
I don't know if the problem is local on my computer or in BaseX's GUI code. It doesn't show Unicode Combining glyphs correctly in the Results window. The combining characters are somehow strangely spaced away together with their base character. If I copy and paste the text from the window, it is correctly formatted.
In the attached picture the 12th row should show "iguumeń/ńa:" instead.
Best regards

Hi Kristian,
This came up a few times before on the list: it's a issue with the default font that BaseX uses in the GUI (Consolas for the GUI on Windows).
Try Options -> Fonts and switching to a more complete font set like Arial Unicode
Cheers,
C.

Thank you very much!
I had looked at this before, but it wasn't clear to me which of the two fonts are shown where. The two font-choosers lack descriptive titles in the GUI dialog -- the one to the left could be perhaps "Main" and the one to the right "Editor and Results".
Cheers
