Yes, that happens with the font I use too; however, as I said in my original
post, it actually doesn't seem to make much difference to readability.
I know what you mean -- on some fonts it does not matter. But in this
case, it is very obvious and ugly.
If the only thing that concerns you is the `synthesized bold,' I suppose a
variable could be added to specifically inhibit this behavior.
Nice, but not enough.
However, some `real' bold fonts actually have this same problem --
characters like `m' can be only vague blobs, with the vertical strokes
undifferentiated. Perhaps in such a case, people would like to disable
even `real' bold-face.
Yes -- I would like to disable `real' bold-face.
I would like everything with bold to be `normal' weight; I then use
color to indicate bold. With this laptop screen, that works best. (I
am using "DodgerBlue4" for background and "cyan" for foreground --
suits me well.)
So maybe it would be better to add a more general feature that could also
make such a decision based on the actual font rather than universally.
Yes.
[Another case might be fonts that don't have italic -- some people
might like to e.g. display an underline instead in this case]
Yes -- again, on this screen, my italic shape looks terrible, so I
use color for this, too. (I have an underline face, which I could
use for italic, but color works best.)
Do please try to come up with some variable; that way I can use the
shape changers on appropriate screens and what amounts to a fixed
width sans serif font with colors for most of my other faces.
Thanks!
