Title says it all really...

I dabble (hoplessly!) with c++ programming and used Kate to edit source files but since the upgrade to 12.04 it no longer puts c++ keywords (class, for, if, etc) in bold as it did before.

any ideas?

Open Kate. Click on Tools > Mode > Sources and click on C++.

hey there - thanks for replying....

I have it selected but still no bold for keywords. It puts datatypes in blue ok and closes braces etc as it always did but keywords still nto appearing in bold.

Any other suggestions?

I assume Kate's highlighting is configurable somewhere but can seem to find it

Open a c++ file -> Settings -> Configure Kate -> Fonts and Colors -> highlighting Text Styles -> Search "Keywords" -> Scroll to the end of the Window and activate "Use Default Style" -> Press Apply.

That helped for me at least.
