Scintilla doesn't put any effort into GTK on windows because it also provides a native windows version. But IIUC it would be a lot of work to change Geany to use that, and its only on windows, so there would be a big increase in support work as there would now be two versions of Geany.

@thdoan https://github.com/thdoan yes, for a separate rendering engine. It would probably be less difficult to change Scintilla to mimic closer GTK+'s normal font rendering (ex. matching hinting, aliasing, widths, etc). For a comparison between Scintilla and GTK+'s normal font rendering, assuming you're not using "native" win32 dialogs, open the Font Chooser (View->Change Font) and compare the font shown in the "Preview" part of the font chooser dialog to what you see in Geany.
