Bruce's language-specific color settings idea is a good one; that's  
exactly what I do. But I'll also add that while you cannot set the  
font based on source language or filename extension, you *can* set a  
different font for specific documents. BBEdit preserves each  
document's font setting when you have the Preferences -> "Text Files" -

As an aside, I really like BBEdit's language-specific preferences. But  
I hope someday Bare Bones will expand them further to allow even more  
language-specific settings, like font and line indention. I'd really  
like to be able to set the "Editing: General" -> "Soft wrapped line  
indentions" preference to "First line" for some languages and  
"Reverse" for others.
