Editing Geany's Configuration Files

@geo_c Do you mind if I respond in a separate thread?

This explains why on one of my pups (or maybe two), geany does not display the "_" underscore character. I don't remember which system it is, so I'll have to boot some up and check. That's problematic in that it doesn't display the underscore in the editor, which makes script editing difficult.

There is a similar problem with the mononoki font:

I've solved it by changing the line-height option:

Geany's menu -> Tools -> Configuration Files -> filetypes.common

Replace line_height=0;0; with line_height=0;1;

This also fixes underscore characters in DejaVu.

An additional tweak that may be needed for dark gtk themes:

To change the message window text colors:

Geany's menu -> Tools -> Configuration Files -> geany.css

Edit colors and restart the program.

No, I'm honored!

I think you've solved the mystery, this makes perfect sense.
