"Bold" must be pretty new. To me it's always been "Bright", and that's
how the colour escape codes are defined, and the CGA display with four
bits for Red/Green/Blue/Intensity. If you can't show the bright
colours correctly due to a lack of colour registers or bitplanes, you
have to resort to other

You think maybe this depends a bit on screen size, screen distance,
resolution, and color scheme?
It seems optimized for smaller screens and resolutions, and I think
those types of fonts works very well on a black background and light

That doesn't sound very suckless. The window manager is there to
manage multiple instances of surf, why should the browser need its own
window managment? Wouldn't it be better to adjust the window manager

Heh, I just started using dwm myself, and I love it! I wanted to try a
tiling window manager, and did some basic research and dwm seemed to
suit me best. I wish I did this switch years ago. I might want to try
