no bold characters #55

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.

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
