Indeed, the editing component we use (Scintilla) has issues with some characters that are wider than usual.
It might or might not be caused by the underlying library used, Pango.

Other GTK apps like the GTK text view or GEdit also behave suboptimally here.

I suspect it is font related, not Scintilla or Geany related, on my system (Geany Git HEAD, so Scintilla 3.10) I only see only an error on the first line of "Mathematics and Sciences", all the rest looks ok.

Aaaaand I finally found what the system monospace font is, Noto Sans Monospace Regular, on GTK 3.18.9, GLib 2.48.2

I suspect it is font related...

I agree. I can get various levels of working from completely wonky, to perfect by trying different fonts. AverageMono seems to fare very well. Also, looking at the plain text in Firefox is not great.

So clearly the effect is font dependent.

Also explained Change fonts does not solve the problem

Also explained Change fonts does not solve the problem

To explain more clearly, the problem is not Geany, its the font or the system rendering libraries that use the font.

And yes I have tried it, as I said in my first post I don't see the same problems as you see, did you try the font I posted above?
