I agree that it should do what you're describing, but the patch is applied
before xterm has found the data that it needs to do the boldMode feature.
For instance, on the next line (see the context of the patch) it checks to
see if it was able to derive a bold font specifier.  Later it checks if
that was different from the normal (or font1, etc) font.
