In KDE4, it is making the color intensive and the font bold. then isn't this a KDE4 regression? shouldn't the behavior be reverted to just making the color "intensive"? i admit that i don't know what you mean by that phrase--do you mean increasing the color saturation? there really should be a way to make fixed-width fonts bold without making them wider than their non-bold counterparts. but until that is implemented, all bold fixed-width fonts are no longer of fixed width. i can think of no reason why a user would desire this behavior (it contradicts the whole idea of fixed width). so i say the behavior should be reverted until it is fixed. > IMHO, this behavior should be user-configurable.

Feel free to review, test and comment. thank you for the effort, but my counter-humble-opinion is that this effort is misdirected. for the reason given above, i think it more sense to change bright fonts to saturated and non-bold until the non-fixed-width bolding behavior is fixed. then, once it's fixed, bright should be reverted back to saturated and/or bold. if the only use case for your patch is to work around this bug, then it becomes a wasted effort once such a fix is committed. but perhaps there is another use case which eludes me. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ konsole-devel mailing list konsole-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/konsole-devel
