<p>By default Geany uses the Monospace font for the editor, which is normally not actually a font, it is a system wide alias, so you can set it in the system, however on my Mint it seems like its an actual font as well since you can select the system monospace to ... Monospace, hmmm.  So in my case Geany doesn't follow the system selection since it has an actual font selected and its impolite to override user selections, oh well.</p>
<p>This may be happening for you too.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Agree.  The font selector is a standard GTK dialog, probably the weights and styles should be filtered out and only regular shown, but I'm not sure how much control GTK gives, PRs are welcome.</p>
