Try using INDIC_TEXTFORE for semantic token colorization about geany-lsp HOT 7 CLOSED

It works - I've just added semantic_tokens_type_style to the config file, disabled by default, check the global config file for details.

The only problem is that it cannot make the types bold unfortunately. So I prefer highlighting using keywords for C/C++ but using indicators may be the only option for lexers not supporting keyword type highlighting (unfortunately neither python nor go support semantic tokens so I couldn't test with these).

Ok, colours types anyway, will see over time how accurate it is.

Seems to work :-)

Maybe Neil will accept a well written patch later.

Not possible it seems:

BOLD does not change the width of proper monospace fonts, look at any type in Geany's default style.
Its possible broken fonts using fake bold will change, and non-monospaced I guess.
Anyway, ok, fonts can't be bold, time to change the default style in Geany 😁
Vscode default theme doesn't bold anything either so I guess its possible to do a usable theme non-bolding, but not so good for the colour challenged.

Try installing SciTE. By default it doesn't use monospaced fonts and I suspect that this is how Neil uses it and Scintilla has to support that. This was always the first thing I had to change when I was using SciTE :-)

Silly ideas young folks have today, programming in non-monospace, whatever is the world coming to [end grumpy olde guy rant]

I can understand Neil's point, the indicators don't re-run layout, so bold (or any other thing that changes layout) can't be used, and I expect its not even possible to know if layout needs to be re-run until after layout has been re-run. :-S

Anyhow so far colours seem to work, so we will just have to live without bold.
