🚀 go-pugleaf

I use the tek-highlight package with Epoch 4.0p1 on a  monochrome X
terminal.
This package changes comments, etc, in source files to have a
different font from the normal text, so they stand out.
Unfortunately, the choice of fonts used is global.

There seems no way in Epoch to make variables screen local (not buffer
local).  Thus, when the default font on one screen is changed (for
example) zones within buffers displayed in that screen keep their old
font.  With packages like tek-highlight, this means that all screens
must use the same font: there's no way to display a zone in *this*
screen using lucidatypewriter at 12 point and *that* screen using
courier at 14 point when the buffer as a whole is using
lucidatypewriter in *this* screen and courier in *that* screen.

I think there has to be a dissociation between appearance (screen
attributes) and actuality (buffer attributes).  Then I could say, make
this zone be emphasized by method 1, and let one screen map method one
to `nearest oblique-bold font to the one used in the buffer', and
another to `inverse video'.

So, is there a way to do what I want?
