From: Yuri Karaban <d...@dev97.com> Hello,
I found that st behavior is inconsistent with XTerm and RXVT in regard to handling bold text. XTerm and RXVT are not making bold font bright if default color is used (with light background and black foreground it's looking rather ugly, brightened black font becomes gray and unreadable on light gray background). There is one subtle detail, foreground color is not brightened only if it's implicit, therefore if default color is black: echo -e "\033[1m Bold but not bright" should print the string in bold with black color but when black is specified explicitly like: echo -e "\033[30;1m Bold and bright" or echo -e "\033[30m \033[1m Bold and bright" it should print the string in bold but with gray (brightened) color. Please consider adopting standard behavior, otherwise it's making the bold text hard to read on a gray background ;-) Yuri Karaban (1): Show bold glyphs in bright color only when color is explicit st.c | 29 +++++++++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) -- 1.9.2
