Yes, you said this last time I reported it, but nothing changed :)

But how to fix it ? Is it a bug in GetEditorControlSettings ?
I assume so, because it definitely overrides the settings I set in the dialog
form file.

As far as I can see, it ends up in editoroptions.pp:

procedure TEditorOptions.ApplyFontSettingsTo(ASynEdit: TSynEdit);
begin
   ASynEdit.Font.Height := fEditorFontHeight;// set height before name for XLFD !
   ASynEdit.Font.Name := fEditorFont;
   if fDisableAntialiasing then
     ASynEdit.Font.Quality := fqNonAntialiased
   else
     ASynEdit.Font.Quality := fqDefault;
end;

Is this a buggy procedure ?
