Text editor: Xint

[S.O. Meone]

Until recently I used two freeware text editors: Metapad for "quick
and dirty" and PSPad for the more serious work. I still think both
editors are the best in their respective categories (notepad
replacements and heavy duty programming editors). However, I don't
require all of PSPad features and Metapad appears to be abandonware.
Moreover, I don't use PSPAd for html and css as I use dedicated
editors for those file formats.
So I started the search for an editor which could replace both text
editors. After a lot of downloading and trying out I ended up with
Xint, which appears to have al the features I require in a text
editor, and a few more. BTW, it has column selection (a must imho).
Features list (incomplete) and download url:

(more good freeware there btw)

A feature I would like to see added to Xint though is a spelling
checker, e.g. Addict (used in CSE Lite) or the one used in PSPad
(which, I presume, is free).

WinMe OS.
This editor is seems quite bit funny.
It does not appear to accept the font
size formated and the charactor being
typed are at very unusual space in between.

one bit space between letters and
numbers and worst is that after the
dot (.) it is like two spaces.
