bold fonts and flyspell

[Shug Boabby]

When a word is marked misspelled by flyspell, the word is made bold...
this bothers me a little, because it screws with the constant width
font layout I have in certain circumstances. I don't always want to add
words to the dictionary in order to fix this (e.g. when flyspell is not
smart enough about words with accents in LaTeX mode).

Is there any way I can turn off the bold-ification? And on a more
general note, I'd like to turn off all font resizing powers across the
board. Does anyone know how I can do that? I likes my fixed width fonts!

Just a stab in the dark, but why don't you try customizing the
flyspell-incorrect-face and flyspell-duplicate-face faces?

BTW, Also notice that you can use a different color for the underline.
I've set the above faces to only add an underline (in red or yellow).

that sounds perfect... do you mind sharing how you did this? I find
that the documentation on flyspell is limited at best.

In fact, I wouldn't mind having a look at your whole .emacs at any
rate... you always seem to have a custom function that does what is
needed :-)
