filetypes.common is the default style, but it seems that colour

there is no convenient way of changing spacing that I can think of.

You can make a colour scheme that overrides this just for printing.

Is it possible to double-space lines when printing? Although I could not find a solution for this when searching the 'net, I am hoping I have missed something...

Is there a file for the default theme where I could just edit line_height setting but keep the rest unchanged until I decide I want to change something else?

For now I just copied the filetypes.common file to ~/.config/geany/filetypes and edited the line_height setting but that now affects all files. I would, as you suggested, rather create a new color scheme, derived from the /default/ one, with the desired changes.

That's a pity. Sometimes I have files, e.g. markdown files, that I like to print out and make changes etc. on the printout. Thus, really no need to change anything on the screen, only double the line height when printing.

Yes, but only as the - very - last resort. The best solution would be to have this as a print option, not on screen. The latter could be set using the line_height setting in the relevant configuration file.
