Thanks Neil, that could explain the difference between GTK2 (Scintilla 3.5) Geany and GTK3 current git (Scintilla 5.3.7) Geany.

As I said above, the images posted by the OP show the current aliasing to be more correct than the GTK2 version which never seems to alias both sides of the verticals.

The OP has not identified the font used, I compared my system Monospace (DejaVu sans mono) and Hack and the aliasing does change between them, with Hack having less, maybe slightly different character positioning in the glyph space, differing hinting?

@poluyan Aliasing is always going to have the chance of looking fuzzy on some resolutions with some fonts, so not sure what we can say except try different fonts to find one that suits your eyes (like the one on Arch you found).
