Hello,
I should probably have reported this earlier. Somewhere in the
transition from Redhat 7.2 to the current Fedora Core 3, a bug cropped
up that I found a work-around for and thus ignored until switching to a
new computer (and home directory):
On a default install, using Gnome's gnome-terminal, the file listing
tool ls shows files in various colors according to the /etc/DIR_COLORS
file. In this file, directories are supposed to be displayed in bold and
blue. For some reason the bold aspect is being omitted. If a user copies
the /etc/DIR_COLORS file to ~/.dir_colors and then relogs back into the
system, the directories are properly displayed in bold (which also makes
them brighter and easier to read).
I also tested this using Konsole and found a similar effect. Although
Konsole uses bold for all the fonts, the text has the brightness
associated with being bolded if the user has a .dir_colors file, and the
brightness does not exist if it is absent.
System Info:
IBM Thinkpad running Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg)
I am using Gnome, and this is occuring in the gnome-terminal
Gnome terminal version 2.7.3
Also occuring in Konsole
Konsole version 1.4.1
Hopefully I'm sending this to the right place - www.gnu.org doesn't have
an obvious link to any sort of Bugzilla tracking system for these utilities.
Sincerely,
Carl Anderson
