Try to explicitly remove bold, as follows: :hi User1 cterm=NONE ctermbg=red ctermfg=7 gui=NONE guibg=#FF0000 guifg=#777777 :hi User2 cterm=NONE ctermbg=7 ctermfg=red gui=NONE guibg=#777777 guifg=#FF0000 (Of course in order to see something we cannot set both ctermbg=7 and ctermfg=7 on the same highlight group). IIUC a Vim instance compiled with no GUI should ignore the gui= guibg= guifg= settings but I don't like to define a highlight group with one of cterm and gui colors and not the other. You may replace User1 and User2 by whatever suits you, but if the groups you set are already defined you may need (I'm not sure) to clear them first with ":hi clear <name>"; then set the highlight for two regions with text to the two highlight groups so defined. Does the problem disappear this way, with cterm=NONE prefixed to the ctermbg and ctermfg settings? Best regards, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
