Hi Moritz,

Thanks for the response.

I can't, any longer. . . .  (I've been with the testing distribution,
constantly upgrading, so that mine is 3.5.5 now, too.)

Hmm, I'm confused.  First, the "CDE" theme uses white text.
Therefore, bold text should be in bold and WHITE, shouldn't it?
If you are seeing bold and BLACK text, then you are seeing the bug
I reported.  But, as I said, I can't reproduce it any longer.
The bold text on my konsole is bold and WHITE (in "man man" and
elsewhere).

Second, in my original report, I meant "Digital CDE", whose background
is greenish-darkish-gray, not light-gray.  So, black text would be
harder to see in "Digital CDE" than in plain "CDE".  This, I can't
reproduce any longer, either.  My bold text is bold and WHITE in
konsole with "Digital CDE"t theme, too.

So, you were a "victim" of CDE, too, right?  I don't like CDE at all,
but the color scheme of Digital CDE (which presumably mimics the CDE
of DEC) isn't bad.

Ryo
