I used vttest: http://invisible-island.net/vttest/vttest.html About halfway through menu option 2, you get this screen: https://imgur.com/AvZ0XwS That’s with the latest version of Deja Vu Sans Mono on 64-bit Windows 10. Looks fine to me. Are you sure you have MinTTY configured to display bold with fonts, rather than colors? Check Options > Text > Show bold as colour. If that’s checked, it tries to fake bold by changing regular white (more like 75% gray) to bright white (100% white) and so forth. I’m not sure what it does with displays that are already using the bright colors. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
