[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Font rendering is slightly harder to read (#1066)

[Matthew Brush]

It's definitively the rendering, Scintilla's Pango/Cairo rendering looks kind of rough on all platforms compared native Win32, or Qt or even real GTK+ font rendering like GtkSourceView-based apps. It's particularly bad on Windows though.

@thdoan You could try to copy the solarized-dark.conf file and make all the styles bold, it might give you better results. I have several themes where I've made "all bold" and "no bold" variants, which I use depending on the font and size to get adequate looking fonts.

IMO this bug report could made valid by changing the title to "Font rendering sucks." :)
