Font stylistic sets - Users

2 Sep 2022

Hi,

I was testing some new fonts (especially FiraCode [1] and Cascadia-Code 
[2]).

As you may know these fonts allow changing their appearance with some 
variants by defining Stylistic Sets through some configuration, like 
indicated in [3], for example

Does geany support defining such settings in some way?

I tried to leverage GTK3 CSS via geany.css, adding something like this:

```
notebook stack widget>widget {
         font-feature-settings: "ss19";
}
```

I checked through `env GTK_DEBUG=interactive geany` that the css is 
actually seen by the running software and app[lied to the document 
container in the UI, but it looks like it's not affecting the font.

(ss19 in Cascadia-Code should give barred zero in place of dotted zero, 
was just one simple change I used for testing. I could use any other of 
the supported variants)

My selector choice was naive, though, so maybe that's the problem.

Do you have any indication or this is unsupported and would require 
software changes?

Thanks in advance.
