UI is nice, but some of the opened XPS text is really messed up
I bought this because of all the good reviews, but was disappointed. I don’t know if there’s been a recent change in XPS formats or something? but. . .
Some of the output text on opened XPS files (generated in the last month or two) was illegible, with some characters on top of others. PDFing the file didn’t help, nor did copying/pasting into a text window.
Some of the other text was very hard to read because it put one space between each pair of characters, whether the characters were i n t h e s a m e w o r d o r n o t.
Some of the text was OK. Unfortunately, some of the messed-up parts happened to be important parts.
I’m disinclined to ascribe the problems to “garbage in,” because the same XPS files came out legible on my PC and finally on the Mac with XPSView Lite. Interestingly, XPS Reader, the next app I tried after this one, had the exact same problems, in the exact same places, that this app had.
