I almost threw up when I started to write a little bit of code in SciTE. The fonts, by default, are quite ugly and jagged.
To fix this and use the smooth fonts we've come to love,
sudo scite OR sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/scite/SciTEGlobal.properties
Options > Open Global Options File
Scroll down to if PLAT_GTK on line 300 (there are many references to if PLAT_GTK, find the one on line 300 or if you've already edited your file [and maybe changed your line number] find the one where it refers to fonts.
Paste this in its place:
if PLAT_GTK
font.base=font:!lucidatypewriter,size:12
font.small=font:!lucidatypewriter,size:10
font.comment=font:!new century schoolbook,size:12
font.code.comment.box=$(font.comment)
font.code.comment.line=$(font.comment)
font.code.comment.doc=$(font.comment)
font.text=font:!times,size:14
font.text.comment=font:!lucidatypewriter,size:10
font.embedded.base=font:!lucidatypewriter,size:12
font.embedded.comment=font:!lucidatypewriter,size: 12
font.monospace=font:!courier,size:12
font.vbs=font:!new century schoolbook,size:12
font.js=$(font.comment)
The anti-aliased fonts are enabled with the exclamation mark preceding each font name. Feel free to change the fonts, of course, if you don't like the default fonts. Just remember to put a ! before the name.
