Hi,
I don't have a Poplog to hand (soon... soon.... just got to get my RedHat
box home :-) so take the following with a pinch of untested salt.
Three ways to have a go:
1) You might be able to set the XVed fonts from the XVed command line using
the ved_xvedfont command. I *think* this made it to the full release (I
wrote it and it may have only got into the COGS local stuff). Use this to
set the bold font to the same as the non-bold font.
2) You can use ved_strip to cull bold fonts from HELP files, etc. --- but
this won't affect the fonts used on the VED status bar, etc.
3) Set the resources directly with .Xdefaults/.xrdb or whatever. Something like
XVed*font: -adobe-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1
XVed*altFont: -adobe-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1
XVed*boldFont: -adobe-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1
XVed*boldAltFont: -adobe-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1
should make bold/italic fonts look identical.
You can also set these via Pop-11 using the xved_value procedure.
Without looking at the REF files I cannot be 100% that the *boldFont
resources apply to the status bar so YMMV.
Hope this helps,
Adrian
