Ah, sure, I didn't modify defaultunderline in config.h. I'm sorry thant
I haven't sorted out details before posting (that was just a side note

I'm sorry if my posts looks offensive. I really didn't mean that.
I just think this particular peculiarity can be unnoticed for years if
most users are using st with dark background and light foreground, since
in this case bold+bright is look even nicer than just bold (and such
behavior is coherent with standard linux console, which just doesn't
have a possibility to show bold fonts and using bright _instead_ of
bold).

I will prepare new patch in the next few days then :-)
By the way you already handling ATTR_ITALIC and ATTR_UNDERLINE specially
(if(base.fg == defaultfg)), and if defaultfg would point to index
inaccessible by ANSI color sequences, defaultitalic and defaultunderline
would have similar semantics too (if color is set explicitly with ANSI
sequence they won't have any effect, no matter even if actual color has
the same name or hex value as default foreground).
