The font layer always supported bold fonts (and also a lot more). However, I have never hooked up bold-font support in the text-renderers. As this is a fairly easy task, I just did that and pushed 6 commits implementing bold-fonts in all renderer backends.
It works fairly nice for me. Please give it a try and report back if there are any problems.
Thanks for reminding me of this. I totally forgot that. David
Bold white looks more like bold gray, but other than that, they're working nicely. Thanks!
That's how it is defined in the DEC-VT specs ;) bold makes all color values slightly "lighter", which means grey for white (sounds weird but that's how its supposed to be).
Thanks for testing! David
I've been putting off asking about this because the answer is probably obvious or something stupid that I'm missing.
When I'm in kmscon, I don't get bold characters. For example, notice and error messages from journalctl are not bold. Also, with lsblk and findmnt I do get the unicode line drawing characters, but they're the thinner alternatives.
