xedit is using a seriously broken font setup for HTML, that is true. The "code" font is much too small (still readable in my place, so you have an additional issue).
Please report this upstream, we don't do anything special about xedit (heck, I guess it's the first time I ever actually run it knowingly).
Point is, the patches that went into xedit over the past year were mostly build fixes. Paolo used to maintain it (he also was the author of the lisp interpreter) but he hasn't contributed anything for two years now. So xedit is an x app that is more or less shipped as is. My fear is that if people raise too much hell upstream about it being broken it will become a more likely drop candidate. There are numerous much more powerful and better maintained editors around and and it may not be considered the HTML editor of choice by the vast majority of web developers. I certainly don't think the issue you are seeing has not been introduced recently as there have been no patches going in regarding fonts for quite a while. I suggest you use a different editor for html unless you would like to investigate and fix the issue yourself. I'm sure fixes are welcome upstream.
Cheers, Egbert.

I do not think that it is a matter of code. the lisp files use many different fonts. It should be manageable to select a common font and make the stuff readable. Fixing a broken default config is a no-op.
The missing documentation is also an issue but unrelated.

As far as I am concerned, xedit is all right, only the syntax colouring feature should be dropped or supported.

I use xedit for minor tweaks on the server. I do not need a feature-rich editor on the server, only a simple and functional one. The primary reason I troubled you about this stuff at all is that this feature is undocumented so I really did not know where to start (surprise factor 10).
Cheers, Chris
