That is indeed what I see. > But I have a further (bizarre) observation: This problem is > size and/or resolution-related: > > Show bold as font > On Off > Size > > 8pt Works Doesn't work > > 12pt Doesn't work Doesn't work The screenshot I posted was 12pt. Bold and Book weights are clearly distinguished. I will concede that there does seem to be some kind of size dependence, as the difference is less clear at 72pt, though I could not say that the difference “vanishes.” It isn’t specific to Deja Vu, either, as the same thing happens with Lucida Console and Consolas. That said, if you create a Wordpad document with the same faces, sizes, and weights, bold is more clearly distinguished at high point sizes. So, perhaps MinTTY is indeed using some kind of faux bold here. -- 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
