Comment 10 for bug 972279

The problem has moved to a different font. I'm testing with a clean install of Kubuntu 12.10 with current updates.

As before, the problem occurs with the Black on White schema, and not the default Linux schema. In fact, it occurs with most schemas in /usr/share/kde4/apps/konsole, the only other exception being Solarized. The essential difference is that where the problem occurs, there is "Bold=true" in the [ForegroundIntense] section. All schemas now use .colorscheme configuration files; before, BlackOnWhite used a .schema configuration file, which has a different syntax.

Now, out of the available fonts, only Monospace (the default) correctly displays bold characters, and it does so at any size. Ubuntu doesn't display bold characters correctly, not at 11pt or at any other size. Nor do any of the other available fonts display bold correctly.

This might be related to bug 744812 "FontConfig/Qt stack choke on Ubuntu Medium font meta-data (No medium in Inkscape and too bold in Qt apps)".
