Description of problem: Using the inconsolata font in xterm no longer shows bold text as bold. Text is displayed as normal. Not seeing the problem using LiberationMono or DejaVuSansMono, therefore I assume the problem is related to the font. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xterm-331-1.fc28.x86_64 levien-inconsolata-fonts-1.01-16.fc28.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install levien-inconsolata-fonts.noarch 2. echo "xterm*faceName: Inconsolata:size=10" > ~/.Xresources 3. xrdb load ~/.Xresources 4. run the following in newly started xterm: echo -e "\e[1mbold\e[0m" Actual results: bold text is displayed as "normal" Expected results: bold text is displayed as "bold" Additional info: Still worked in F27.
Ccing Miroslav in case something in xterm changed.
It might be an xterm issue. Could you please try it with xterm-330 and xterm-333?
compiled both xterm-330 and xterm-333 from upstream source. Exactly the same behaviour, bold text is not bold.
I tried downgrading different packages and it seems to be caused by a change in fontconfig. With fontconfig-2.12.6-4.fc28 it still works, but with fontconfig-2.12.93-1.fc28 it does not.
apparently https://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/commit/?id=9efe0689ae130eda75a66ecd853cbe63712378a3 affects to this behavior. need to revisit this to get the right behavior.
