This is all obscure, and doesn't appear to apply anyway. I don't want to
color the text for various keywords, I want to set the font-family for all
text in the node - preferably without needing to enumerate every kind of
keyword, which names I don't think are documented anywhere.
It seems that there may be some machinery the could be used in pbc.doFont(),
but when I forced the dictionary for @node rest to contain ('font-family',
'Georgia'), which would seem to be the expected contents, the font in my
test node wasn't changed. Also, the way the key/values are obtained from
the @node processing makes it impossible to extract those values from the
@node. There is some magic involved here, and I'm not surprised if there's
a bug.
In the standard Leo distro, those @nodes are only used for @language forth,
and the Forth colorizer handler uses special bespoke classes. So there may
be a bug that the special Forth code works around but no other language
hits.

I must be missing the magic way to do this
It looks like there is a bug somewhere. I expected the following to work:
1. Create a test node (headline doesn't matter, but mine is --- tests of
@language rest) containing:
@language rest
**Bold**
plain rest text.
*Italics*
2. Save your test file with the test node selected.
3. Restart your test file with --trace=coloring in effect.
On startup, the trace will show a large trace of the configDict, containing
many keys. The start of this trace will looks something like this:
configDict: {'blank': '#E5E5E5',
'comment': 'solarized-orange',
'comment.hashbang': '#408080',
...
Then you'll see the usual syntax coloring trace. Something like this:
mainLoop
NEW NODE: --- tests of @language rest
setTag: rest.leokeyword 0 14 '@language rest'
rest_main:
setTag: rest.keyword2 0 8 '**Bold**'
rest_main:match_at_language
setTag: rest.keyword4 0 9 '*Italics*'
rest_main:rest_rule14
Your task is to set these key/value pairs to your liking.
A. In myLeoSettings.leo, under the node Language-specific fonts and colors,
create an organizer node (with rest as the headline)
B. Under this rest organizer node, create other nodes to set specific
settings. Use the traces as your guide.
For example, I created the node: @color rest-keyword3-color = red
The body text doesn't matter: put any comments there you like.
*Bug: *settings don't affect the configDict. I'll investigate.
