Solution

  • The fact that the complete code can be copied proves that the characters exist but are not displayed.

    If in Window > Preferences: Java > Editor > Syntax Coloring deactivating bold for Java > Keywords excluding 'return' make them visible in the Java editor again, only characters in bold are affected. In this case choosing a different font at least for the Java editor might be the solution:

    1. In Window > Preferences: General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts choose a different font for Java > Java Editor Text Font

    I like Source Code Pro as a font for coding, which has to be installed in the operating system to use it in Eclipse.

    Make also sure not using an outdated Java and Eclipse IDE version.
