Description Jannes CLA 2011-02-19 05:17:53 EST 
In Photran 6.0.5.201011100956:

Changing syntax highlighting for Fortran code is not possible for certain types of characters. These seem to include * + - , etc. 

To reproduce:
Change highlighting via |Windows > Fortran > Editor| and select all colours as non-black. Thereafter, a command such as
  print *, "Hello" 
correctly highlights the keyword and string, but the *, characters remain black. 

The result:
As above, for a range of characters, which makes it impossible to read on a dark background. These characters remain black.

The expected behaviour: 
Be such that these are also addressable via the highlighting options or via the necessary attribute and .prefs file combination for the given workspace.

There is a relevant discussion on the Photran mailing list:

Comment 1 Jeffrey Overbey CLA 2011-03-15 00:23:03 EDT 
This is fixed in ptp_4_0 (Photran 6.0.7) and HEAD (Photran 7.0).  There is a new "numbers and punctuation" preference in the Fortran Editor preference page.
