Yes (though I do sometimes set TERM, so good you made me check).

Same as for you, but I don't see bold, either in or out of Emacs. Eg
in man pages, or if I run the good old bash colour script. This is on
RHEL4.4. A quick web search suggests this may be due to RH's choice of
console font (latarcyrheb-sun16 it seems).
