[Geany-devel] Deep editor customization....

[Jimmy Paillet]

Hi again,
ok, just for fun, here's a patch to a basic functional version...(and the
modified files in case patch is not working acording to plans...)
it's tiny modifications to src/highlighting.c and src/highlighting.h :D

once the patch applied you should be able to add to styling sections of
filetypes.whatever
a font name, and a font size...
in that fashion:
a_style=fg_color;bg_color;bold?;italic?;fontname;font_size

I've attached a filetype example to see how to use...
if you leave it the way it is...then you just get the usual highlighting...

I've only tested it with Python and C....

as mentionned earlier, if you change the default font during a session, it
will break the custom styling for the duration of the session....
i'll work on that...

later on I'll provide extra options to change margin sizes, markers and
such....

let me know if it works

cheers,
jimmy
