On rxvt, and only on rxvt, then when I display text using the ncurses A_BOLD attribute then it’s artificially coloured.
Top is gnome-terminal, bottom is rxvt-unicode.
Does anyone know enough about the rxvt configuration to know whether I can stop this happening? It does seem to be correctly finding the bold font, so it doesn’t need to emphasise the text by colour.
I do know there’s a colorBD resource which is used to specify the colour of bold text; however this only seems to apply when drawing text in the foreground colour, which this isn’t (it’s actually off-white). (Also, I’ve tried setting it and nothing happens, so that code path isn’t firing.)
I don’t believe there’s anything in my configuration, which is pretty basic:
URxvt*scrollTtyOutput: false
URxvt*scrollWithBuffer: true
URxvt*scrollTtyKeypress: true
URxvt*font: xft:Monoid Tight:pixelsize=12
URxvt*saveLines: 10000
URxvt*scrollBar_right: true
URxvt*background: #2B2B2B
URxvt*foreground: #DEDEDE
(Plus a palette setting, omitted for brevity.) I’ve checked with xrdb -query and the settings are being picked up and it’s not showing anything. Plus I’ve checked /etc/X11/app-defaults/URxvt and everything’s commented out.
So is this hard-coded behaviour?
