Why is it impossible to enter the text "pixel/2" in the Xcode editor?
Whenever I type a lower case L followed by a forward slash the two are
converted into a lower case L with a horizontal bar through it. I
suspect this is some kind of diacritical or unicode thing because the
same thing happens in TextEdit in plain text mode (but not in rich
text).
You have an ancient cut of Monaco in your Fonts folder. This font has
the twiddly bits turned on to apply automatic ligatures to certain
character combinations (l/ and o/, for instance) as well as to
automatically curl your single and double quotes. Very strange
decisions for a monospace font, if you ask me, but there it is.
Remove the offending Monaco using FontBook and restart Xcode and you
should be OK.
Note your files are not corrupted. This is purely glyph-drawing
behavior on the part of the text system, taking guidance from the font.
You can compile your code fine, it just displays oddly.
(Note: You are only the third person to mention this, ever.)
