I really like the font and colors options.

But for the fonts I use (Consolas, Lucinda console), I dont find bold
to really stand out. And italicized looks messed up.

Would like the option to select a color for local symbols and static symbols.

The idea should be extended...
Inside a local member functions verses C functions should be color different
ints vs double
It would also be nice to colorize structs, enums differently

Maybe user defined regular expressions .. all functions starting with foo..

regular expressions for colouring is going to conflict with the existing colouring rules, which are based on "what" something is.

we will not be adding any more "types" of things to colour for the foreseeable future. while the current colouring code does work very well, it is full of edge cases where it runs into problems, so we are better off improving what we have before we think about extending it.

plus to many different colours can start to get confusing.

you may find the Bitstream Vera Sans Mono font to be nice, and it works well with both bold and italic. it is discussed here:

Also lower case l is wild. it is useful for being different from 1.
Also O and 0 are different.
