I think he's asking if there's a way to change the thickness by increasing the size of the character but only horizontally (and presumably without increasing the surrounding whitespace to the same extent). IIRC there (used to be?) a way to specify a resize matrix as part of a font specification, which I used at some point in `xterm` in order to replace my trusty bitmap misc-fixed font with a vectorized font (and thus gain anti-aliasing) while keeping the exact same size of the character cells. That would be sufficient to resize horizontally, but it would also resize the surrounding whitespace, so it's probably not sufficient. Stefan
