For me on Mac OS X in GNU Emacs 22.0.50 sym-links are displayed in a bold font face, as the directory's path name in the buffer's head. Can it be that you use a font or fontset based on regular only fonts? I never saw in dired-mode sym-links displayed the same way as in xterm. -- Greetings Pete Chicago, n.: Where the dead still vote ... early and often!
