Package: xterm
Version: 222-1etch2
Severity: important
Xterm does not honour the colorBDMode when instructed to render text
using FreeType fonts. This makes bold antialised text (such as directory
names in Midnight Commander) highly illegible and tiresome to the eyes,
especially because xterm combines bolding with highlighting.
The following simple patch is proposed to solve the problem (please adjust
code formatting as you see fit):
diff -u --recursive xterm-222.orig/fontutils.c xterm-222/fontutils.c

Thanks Thomas. Vladimir, if you still think this is an issue with
recent versions of xterm, please provide more information about the
problem you're seeing and we can reopen the bug.
Cheers,
