Perhaps I am doing something continually wrong, but I have not been
able to get the approach you have outlined above, which is described
in the manual to work - the syntax coloring does not work.

Let me be specific - the filetypes.lua file when edited to support Euphoria
works very, very well - almost flawlessly (folding is a wee bit funky)
When this file is copied to the filename filetypes.Euphoria.conf, and Geany
is
restarted, and Euphoria Source Code is selected from the Document/Set
Filetypes/Scripting Languages menu - all text color reverts to black in
files with the designated Euphoria extensions.

I am puzzled as to why the method you have described, which is also
described
in the Geany manual, apparently works for some type of language files, but
not
for Euphoria.  I should also note that at least two other Euphoria user's
have failed to obtain color syntax support for Euphoria files, except by
editing the lua support files, as I have done.

I am attaching the file filetypes.Euphoria.conf which is what I use renamed
as
filetypes.lua, just in case you, or some one else familiar with Geany might
find
out what is going wrong where.

Your assistance is appreciated.

Ken Rhodes
