Hello,
I found that st behavior is inconsistent with XTerm and RXVT in regard
to handling bold text. XTerm and RXVT are not making bold font bright
if default color is used (with light background and black foreground
it's looking rather ugly, brightened black font becomes gray and
unreadable on light gray background).
There is one subtle detail, foreground color is not brightened only if
it's implicit, therefore if default color is black:
echo -e "\033[1m Bold but not bright"
should print the string in bold with black color
but when black is specified explicitly like:
echo -e "\033[30;1m Bold and bright"
or
echo -e "\033[30m \033[1m Bold and bright"
it should print the string in bold but with gray (brightened) color.
Please consider adopting standard behavior, otherwise it's making the
bold text hard to read on a gray background ;-)
