Description Behdad Esfahbod 2009-09-21 15:28:03 UTC 
We have vte API for it already.  Just need UI.
Comment 1 Mariano Suárez-Alvarez 2009-09-21 16:23:00 UTC 
Maybe I'm boring... but I have never ever felt any need to change the color of bold text in a terminal. Does g-t really need to support this and add UI for it?
Comment 2 Behdad Esfahbod 2009-09-21 18:03:16 UTC 
In small sizes, many bitmap fonts have identical bold and normal glyphs.  Essential for keeping the monospace normal and bold faces have the same width.
Comment 3 Behdad Esfahbod 2009-12-11 23:13:20 UTC 
I did a first round on this.  Needs more UI though.  ChPe, any chance you can finish this?  (Or update the glade file again and send over to me?  Thanks)

    First shot at Bug 595841 - Allow setting color for bold text
    
    The current UI simply adds a Bold color in the Colors tab.  I think
    we should also add a "Use different color for bold" checkbox before
    it, otherwise (that is, right now), you need to change both foreground
    and bold manually.
Comment 4 Behdad Esfahbod 2009-12-14 07:58:11 UTC

    Finish Bug 595841 - Allow setting color for bold text
    
    Add a "Bold color same as text color" checkbox.
