I have the featurefile.plist that comes with the AFDKO installed in my TextWrangler > Language Modules. The version I have is designated 1.000 and dates from 2007.
This is better than nothing, but still leaves a bit to be desired.
Does anyone know of any modified .plist that will also color class names and functional punctuation like ; {} and [] ?

Mark Simonson mentions in the thread that he has done it and at one time had the file posted but the link is broken now.

It's pretty rudimentary, so I don't know if it will do all you want.
However, looking at your .plist code might give me some ideas. If I get ambitious and decide to modify it, I’ll let you know.
Meanwhile, I’ve decided instead to build out a separate feature editor window for Robofont and try that, instead of editing in an external application. Basically, I just can’t stand the Features sheet obscuring my font while writing features.
There are little things that bug me about TextMate that keep me from using it exclusively, like the un-Mac-like way text editing works in it.
For example, if you click somewhere in the middle of a document and drag straight down past the end of the document, the normal Mac behavior is to select everything from that point to the end of the document. Text fields on Macs have worked this way since the very beginning (I've been using them that long). But in TextMate, the selection stops short of the end of the document at whatever point in the last line of the document corresponds to the x coordinate of your mouse cursor, so you also have to drag to the right. It just bugs me.
But it also can do some really cool things that BBEdit can't. What can you do.
There is one thing I use TextWrangler for: the ‘Process Lines Containing …’ function. At least I haven’t figured out how to do that in TextMate yet.
BTW, sorry for turning this thread totally off-topic. :-)
I appreciate that it’s free-as-in-beer, so I can just have a client download it, then hand them my Applescripts, and save them hours (if not days) of work.
