How do I make SciTE run faster on GTK+?
The default settings for SciTE were changed in version 1.63 to use the Pango font system and antialiased fonts. You can return to using X core fonts which are faster with these settings: 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 Line wrapping also slows SciTE down and this can be turned off with wrap=0.
