Since you wrote the tty color stuff, this would probably be easier for you than for anyone else. ------- Start of forwarded message ------- Envelope-to: rms@gnu.org Delivery-date: Tue, 10 Sep 2002 15:24:10 -0400 From: Marcus Brinkmann To: bug-emacs@gnu.org Subject: fonts on terminal? Content-Disposition: inline Sender: bug-gnu-emacs-admin@gnu.org Date: Tue, 10 Sep 2002 21:23:41 +0200 Hi, I am writing the GNU Hurd console right now, and can easily support several fonts at the same time. This would allow you to switch to normal, italic, or even real bold (not extra bright colors, but bold glyphs) using terminal escape sequences. There is a standard sequence for italics, sitm/ritm, but no default sequence for real bold (termcap bold is usually used to get the other 8 of the 16 available foreground color). Of course, because this feature is obscure on todays PCs (although not on all terminals in existance), it not used by modern curses applications, but it could be. Is there interest in supporting alternative (italics, bold) faces for font lock mode in emacs, and would it be easy for you to add it? Then I will add it to the Hurd console, with sitm/ritm for italics, and a new capability as a GNU extension for real bold (sbom/rbom? we should probably consult the ncurses people about that).
