> The horrific font rendering that turned underscores into spaces

I have geany open right now and it is displaying underscores just fine with Noto Sans Mono. I have no idea what configuration you were using or what fonts, but this shouldn't be a problem currently.

I had the issue with the Flatpak version in an unmodified install on Fedora Silverblue 35, but my experience is apparently hardly unique.

I was thinking "this user is just unlucky" but I installed Geany from scratch and indeed underscores are invisible by default for me too! I switched fonts and it works.
