[Bug 972279] [NEW] Konsole displays bold text with normal weight

[Graeme Hewson]

Public bug reported:

After upgrading from Oneiric to Precise Beta 2, I found that Konsole
would not display bold text as such, but would display the text with the
normal weight, unless I used a particular font setting. To reproduce,
execute this line; the word "bold" should be in bold.:

echo "`tput sgr0`this is `tput bold`bold`tput sgr0`"

This is with the Black on White scheme, which uses the "bold" flag for
the intensive foreground colour -- see
/usr/share/kde4/apps/konsole/BlackOnWhite.schema. Note that the default
Linux Colors scheme does not use the "bold" flag -- see
/usr/share/kde4/apps/konsole/.

I found that with Ubuntu Mono Regular, size 11.0, Konsole does display
bold text correctly, with the default "Draw intense colours in bold
font" box ticked.

Using the size slider in the Edit Profile / Appearance tab to alter the
size from 11.0 keeps the text displaying correctly, but going into Edit
Font and clicking on a different size causes bold text to revert to
normal weight. I have not found any other font/style/size combination
which works, and in particular the default Monospace font doesn't work
correctly.
