fontWeight / fontStyle decorations not working

[goldrik]

I have this setting used to detect a particular type of comment. Specifically, I would like to make it bold and green

However, the font properties dont seem to apply to the text. You can see that the comment is been properly detected, and the color changes. However, none of the font styles are applying. (The font style for comments is italic).

Same issue here

Are there samples of this working with newer vscode versions?

I tried disabling some settings/extensions but I seem unable to make the examples in the readme work.

fontWeigth does work for me, it makes my comments bold, but fontStyle is indeed totally ignored.

It seems to mostly work for me in v2 of the extension and v1.108 of vscode, is this still a problem @goldrik?

Settings:

{
  "highlight.regexes": {
    "^( *(%%|%%[^%\n][^\n]*))$": {
      "regexFlags": "gm",
      "filterLanguageRegex": "MATLAB",
      "decorations": [
          {
              "overviewRulerColor": "#028009",
              "color": "#028009",
              // "color": "#FFFFFF",
              "fontWeight": "bold",
              "fontStyle": "italic",
              // "rangeBehavior": 1,
              // "borderWidth": "1px",
          }
      ]
    }
}

Other decorations like "underline" or "strikethrough" I indeed don't see them being applied 🤔

[goldrik]

I'm getting the same output as you - the "%%" comment is properly identified, and the font changes to green, bold, and italic. However, underline and strikethrough still do not work.

These decorations work:

"overviewRulerColor": "#028009",
"color": "#028009",
"fontWeight": "bold",
"fontStyle": "italic", 

These decorations do not work:

"fontStyle": "underline", 

"fontStyle": "strikethrough", 

or ANY of the combinations of bold, italic, underline, and strikethrough
