Anyhow ... returning to the initial proposal :)

In respect of item 1) this is all I'm proposing:

diff --git a/src/keyfile.c b/src/keyfile.c

index 102fb78..bdf7a0a 100644

--- a/src/keyfile.c

+++ b/src/keyfile.c

@@ -78,7 +78,7 @@

#define GEANY_DEFAULT_TOOLS_GREP "grep"

#define GEANY_DEFAULT_MRU_LENGTH 10

#define GEANY_DEFAULT_FONT_SYMBOL_LIST "Sans 9"

-#define GEANY_DEFAULT_FONT_MSG_WINDOW "Sans 9"

#define GEANY_DEFAULT_FONT_EDITOR "Monospace 10"

#define GEANY_TOGGLE_MARK "~ "

#define GEANY_MAX_AUTOCOMPLETE_WORDS 30

ie change the ***DEFAULT*** font for new configs. Existing configs will not change. The user can change it in the GUI at menu->edit_preferences->interface->interface.

Cheers
