Disabling bold fonts in various terminals

Alright, I've been using Xfce4-terminal ever since I started using Linux. At various points in time I've tried to switch to more lightweight terminals, but there's one feature Xfce4-terminal has that I can't find anywhere else.
It has an option to disable bold fonts. This is very important to me, because bold and monospace really clash, you know? It looks like crap, and no offense to anyone, but I don't think it should have ever been made a "feature" in the first place.
So, how do I do it? How do I disable bold fonts in my terminals? I'm hoping there's something I can put in my .bashrc or something. I'd appreciate any help I could get.

i'm _guessing_ you could specify the *font and *bold.font as the same _normal_ font in your .Xdefaults. in theory it would work? i'd be interested, i dislike the bold as well. can't remember the exact .Xdefaults syntax right now though... maybe i'll post back in a bit
edit, i think it's
*font: -*- some non bold font -*-
*boldFont: -*- the same non bold font -*-
would that work? i can't test right now...

How can I prevent sites displaying in bold font in versions of FF later than 3.6?

Many sites (google, gmail, wikipedia to name a few) are appearing in bold font when they should not be. This started for me in FF4, and has persisted in FF5 and now FF6. I'm running Windows 7 x64.
I've seen many replies to questions about bold font problems telling people to reinstall, e.g. arial as the problem is corrupted fonts on their system. I've tried reinstalling several fonts (arial, verdana, tahoma, times new roman...) and it doesn't solve the problem. Also, if I reinstall FF3.6, the problem goes away, so it seems to be an issue with FF and not my machine.
I've also tried running FF6 in safe mode, with addons disabled, and restoring the default settings. None of this has helped.
I should add that I have another machine running FF6 with the same addons, but with Windows 7 x86 - all pages display correctly. Is this a known issue for FF4+ on 64-bit systems?

Thanks for replying. I'm using exactly the same profile as I did in 3.6, and reinstalling 3.6 does solve the problem. I'd rather use the latest version though.
I've just checked Tools > Options > Content > Advanced of the two machines side by side, and they're identical. The 32-bit one is fine, and the 64-bit one isn't.

Is there a way to disable tab font smoothing (maybe with userchrome.css)?

hello everyone I've just switched from chrome to ff and I'm very satisfied. Just one problem, is there a way to disable tab font smoothing (maybe with userchrome.css)? I've changed the colour of tab font (with userchrome.css) to white to improve readability but with white text is too bold. thanks !!

hey thanks for the quick reply. here's a screenshot
http://www.mediafire.com/view/?c2a2l69ci5zbq#bt6qrwr6ku8m5n6
i think we just have to add some antialiasing in the userchrome.css? but i don't know the code.
here's my modified userchrome.css
/* Inactive Tab */
tab:not([selected="true"]) {
color:white !important;}
/* Tab while loading */
tab[busy] {
color: blue !important;}
tab .tab-text {
font-size: 12px !important;
/* tab font */
tab .tab-text {
font-family:Verdana !important;
i read somewhere else the problem is more evident with white text on dark background
thanks

Emails sent with normal font received in bold font; if I send to myself, same thing happens;

emails leave in standard font and sometimes return/received in bold font; this is random and does not follow a pattern; all else works fine; I use WXP on one pc and W7 on other pc

If the problem dont occur in Safe Mode check your addons, try disable one by one until the problem dont occur in normal mode:

Bolded fonts only in Firefox - how to normalize it?

My problem is the bolded font: before view - http://i.imgur.com/6FlBHZs.png, after view - http://i.imgur.com/cxaRhtZ.png
I want to return the normal view of the fonts in the websites. This problem appears only in Firefox.

Are you zooming those pages. because that can cause Firefox to use a bold font if you zoom too much?
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
*<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Command+0 on Mac)

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Weird Bold-Font Substitution

Ever since I updated to 10.4.11 this morning, including the brand-new Safari 3.0.4, Safari has appeared to be font-substituting all bold Arial (or Helvetica?) fonts. The substitution almost looks like Arial Black. (Another poster had a similar problem, but not exactly the same.)
I've repaired permissions, trashed the Safari plist, and smashed the Mac OS X font cache, all to no avail. I don't have any Safari haxies.
What should I do?

I had the same problem since the update, bold fonts would sometimes show up as black, like on Google, all bold fonts would be Arial Black.
I managed to fix it by disabling Arial in Font Book (It turns out I had duplicates in the Arial font family) than restarting Safari and everything was back to normal.
So maybe try looking under All Fonts and open the Arial font and see if you have more than one of each type, try disabling any duplicates and any Arial Black duplicates.
Hope that helps because I know how annoying this problem is.

Italic bold fonts

I am using firefox 23.0.1, Windows 7.
When I go to mercurynews.com or sfgate.com and click on one of the articles, the text of the article displays in italics and bold font. The rest of the page looks fine.
I have already tried the Microsoft European Font Update.
Anyone know how to fix this? Thank you.

This can be a problem with the font that is used to display the text.
You can select this italic/bold text and use "Inspect Element" to open the built-in inspector.<br />
If you click the Fonts tab in the pane on the right then you can see which font is used.
You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
*http://browserspy.dk/fonts-flash.php?detail=1
You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
*[ ] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

I'm using the @font face to embed fonts on my site. Everytime I use a heading tag Firefox adds extra emphasis (making a bold font even bolder). How can I resolve this? The heading tag renders fine in Chrome/Safari.

How can i take out the bold fonts from webpage?

This the page i am referring http://silentdisco.de/
Hope you could help... I have this situation for some time and i really dont know what i could do to solve it.
Thanks so much in advance for your help.

Start by removing the inline styles from your HTML code. You've got quite a few of them.
<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #000000; font-size: 20px;"></span>
CSS styles belong in your style sheet.

Pdf file designed using IREPORT tool. when i preview in adobe reader bold fonts displaying correctly,but same file in mozilla adobe plugin displays fonts unbold

I have designed a report using IReport tool with some text as BOLD, which generates report in PDF format. when i open the file with Adobe Reader IX it opens perfectly.
but the problem is when i open the same file in mozilla add-on "Adobe Reader 11.0.3.37" and in previous versions it does not displaying the bold fonts.

Is there a non-confidential example of this PDF that we could view?

Acrobat X Converts Non-Bold Font to Bold From Word Doc

I had used Acrobat 8 at work for over three years with no problems converting any MS Office documents to PDF files. I've purchased Acrobat X Pro for my use at home and now every time I try to convert a Word file (either a doc or a docx), it changes the font on the first page to bold and leaves the second page normal, as the original font in the Word file. I'm not using an especially unusual font (tried it with both Californian and Antiqua, with the same results) and the font shows as embedded in the Acrobat properties, so I don't think that's the problem.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and, if so, is this just one of those "improvements" that renders the software useless, or is it possible this is something they hope to fix soon?

I'm not sure what you mean by "checking the font for changes". In the Word file, only items that are supposed to be bold show as bold; in Adobe, the first page shows entirely as bold and the properties show that I have both regular, italic, and bold fonts - which is correct, because the original Word file has both regular, italic, and bold fonts in it - just not where they are supposed to be (at least on the first page). Second page is fine. And, as I mentioned, "converting it from Word 2007 using Save As PDF" - that *is* using the plug in. My point is that whether using the Word PDF plug in or converting directly using Acrobat X created the problem. I say "created" because this morning, it seems to be working fine. No rhyme. No reason. Not doing anything differently. I do know that I've seen a similar problem in a PDF letter I received from a colleague who was using Acrobat X (while I was still using 8). She reviewed the original Word file and, like mine, it was fine, it was just in converting that the problem arose. So I've decided that the solution involves rebooting one's 'droid. It seems that 21st century solutions are the same as they were a quarter of a century ago. Oh joy.
Thanks to all for the input, though.

Mail created in Sapscript not appear bold, font, image, ...only simple text

Hi to all,
I have created a form in Sapscript. This forms contains a image, box, text with bold, font Verdana, ...
If I print this form this appears correctly (with image, box, ....) but if i sent to mail only appear the text without format.
I need that the mail shows the image (not attached), box, etc.
Can anybody helps me?
Thanks a lot for your help.

I've posted about markups in emails recently....problem is that your output form Scrip doesn't contain the HTML tags. So, when email is opened, the user defaults (Outlook??) are used.
We work around this problem by creating email content that contains the markups that we need... But, we do it from ABAP, not SAPScript, so that's no help to you...

Fonts disabled in Font Book all still on in applications (after SL upgrade)

I've successfully upgraded to Snow Leopard on my 2Ghz intel mac. I had some initial problems with fonts but all now working except that despite fonts being disabled in Font Book they are still active in all applications. As I have 500+ this is really annoying.
I've run Disk Utility. What else? - any ideas how to sort this out???

The database for Font Book is in a completely different location in Snow Leopard. The update doesn't seem to always do the hand off correctly as I've seen a fair number of posts stating the same problem. Resetting Font Book's database should fix it.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally.
This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode. Any font sets you have created will be gone. Also, all fonts in the three main Fonts folders (System, Library, your user account) will now be active, regardless of their state beforehand.

PHP Sendmail BOLD Font

Hi there,
I'm using a PHP sendmail script, although I want some of the
writing to be emailed in BOLD font, it isn't the field results,
it's the bit after the 'sprint' in the script I'd ideally like to
be bold.
Would be fanastic if anyone could share their knowledge.
Regards,
Kristopher (UK).
