Description cezariusz 2004-08-26 12:53:39 UTC 
For editor settings it's very common to have the 
same font face and size for all syntaxes, but 
some of them differ in font style 
(plain/bold/italic).
My suggestion is to separate font style 
inheritance same as colors. It would allow me to 
select the font face and size ONCE, without need 
to repeat this change for each syntax having 
font style different that plain.
I hope you understand what I mean.

The Fonts and Colors dialog could look for example like this:

+-- Font Face and Size --------------------------------------------+

Yes, this is something which we would like to do.
BTW we would also like to improve the colorings inheritance by
allowing multiple level inheritance and introducing token-type level
colorings e.g. a keyword-coloring that could be reused for all the
keywords in all the languages (could be overriden of course).
