[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Please support font size as floating point value (#703)

[Deep Sleep]

![font_size_mismatch](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/306953/29740946-f47a6d34-8a62-11e7-9f90-0f151405387e.png)

_In Addition:_
Somehow the size doesn't match with any other editors somehow, in example Deja Vu Sans Mono 14 in Geany is much bigger in the appearance and size than that of Pluma and Visual Studio Code for Linux (VSCode). I think that's the reason why somehow a float value for font size is needed for compensating. Also, Not only the sizes doesn't match, but also the spacing between the lines are very tight, which could be eye straining for some people

_Thought/Suggestion:_
This is probably due the editor is based on Scintilla, which has a different engine working beneath, I think. Can this be tuned to match "normal" size? And is it possible to add something to control the line height too? This is a editable option in VSCode by the way.
