Hi Mark, Don't worry :-) I filed a full feature request 2 days ago. It's very detailed. It's at http://bugs.debian.org/355624. For now I didn't try tweaking my terminfo, I assumed that would affect bolding in other apps (although maybe I'm wrong.) Instead I changed LESS_TERMCAP_us et al. Now I have changed my manpager back from most back to less. :-) IIRC isn't lessopen not called by less as things are set up by default on debian and slackware? Therefore, wouldn't it be better to implement this inside less? This would also make it easier for users to turn color on/off or configure it by a command line option.
