Reopening this bug. In Ubuntu Hardy, just attempt to open a .f files
using gedit. It should by default be highlighted in the same way as .for
files.

On my system I can see that there is no entry in /etc/mime.types for
fortran source code. There is text/x-csrc for C code, and text/x-c++src
for C++ code and text/x-python for python, so why not for fortran code?

I suspect that the problem lies in the lack of a correct mime type
categorisation for Fortran code, as this is the system which gedit uses
when determining how to syntax-highlight a file.


** Changed in: gedit (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => New
