[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Editor font is always bold (#2382)

[newhoa]

Thank you for the very quick response. I actually came back to edit or delete this issue.

The problem is not that it is stuck in bold, it is that it does not follow the system's colour settings by default. That is what confused me, sorry. [Here is an example](https://i.imgur.com/yzxx3xo.png). So while most system themes use a slightly lighter than black color, and by default most programs and editors inherit this, geany was still using solid black making it look bold. And also the bold/regular font selection was making no difference adding to the confusion.

But almost all other editors by default will follow the system theme unless told not to. Gedit and Mousepad that I just used for that example do support colour schemes but their Default/None options honors the users system settings. Is there any way to have geany do this or to have colour schemes disabled by default? It's a little much for the user to have to create a colour scheme config file and know where to put it simply to have an editor match their already chosen system preferences.

Also I do think it causes some confusion to present the user with an option to change the font and selecting Regular/Bold weight has no change. It isn't stated anywhere, there is no gui to change the colours or font weight of the scheme, so the only option the user is presented with changing this has no affect.

Thanks again.
