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

[elextr]

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.
