In 8.0 it does bold by darkening the character color, so bold isn't visible if using black text. In current rawhide (upcoming release) it double-draws the characters at an offset as in 7.3. |
Description of problem: I am unable to get gnome-terminal to display bold characters (as interpreted by 'ul' and 'less' for example). xterm and KDE's 'konsole' handle this fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.1-5 How reproducible: in gnome-terminal: echo -e 'T\bTE\bES\bST\bT' | ul Then repeat the above in xterm, noting that the characters appear in bold face only in the latter. Steps to Reproduce: See above. Actual results: Normal-appearing characters Expected results: Bold characters Additional info: This is probably a little-known feature, but it is important in some applications.
