You missed a word: some broken programs. Not only was bright for bold
was a hack for very brain-damaged devices, in an age where the
maximum brightness of a screen must be set low so that large bright
white areas are not too bright bright-for-bold usually means normal
text is dimmer than I want to read. I have bad memories of hacking on
a Linux console.
