Did you try nedit (nedit.org)? In my opinion it's one of the best programmer editors I ever used (of course, it's a matter of taste). Highly adjustable, simple, intuitive, expandable (simple macro-type language), supporting regular expressions and tabbed interface, syntax highlighting (user defined).

Does anyone have any tips on changing the *program* font and improve the fonts used in *documents*? Nedit is currently unreadable for me with my tired old eyes so I could only use it if I can improve the fonts. I have tried using the list of fonts for documents but the listed fonts come back as invalid or wrong type. The fonts that work in docs are unreadable.

If you mean the fonts for menus, dialog boxes and such, you should use -xrm switch (X resources). E.g. I tried nedit -xrm "*fontList:-adobe-*-*-r-*-*-*-180-*-*-*-*-*-*" or nedit -xrm "*fontList:lucidasans-18" and got quite huge letters in title bar and menus. For the edited text, you should use -fn switch. I would play with xfontsel, find the one acceptable and then try it from nedit command line. I think nedit -fn lucidasans-18 -xrm "*fontList:lucidasans-18" will give you large fonts everywhere. Or you can even use 24 instead of 18...
