How do I make XTerm not use bold?
If you set the same font for bold and normal font it might work.
I set the fixed
font for both like:
xterm*font: fixed
xterm*boldFont: fixed
If you then do xrdb -load
and start a new term it was back to not being bold :)
Setting allowBoldFonts
property works for me
Add the following line in your ~/.Xresources
XTerm*allowBoldFonts: false
X resources aren't reloaded until you reload the X windowing system, and they aren't polled unless you restart the executable which is doing it. Try running
xrdb ~/.Xresources
in your current session. Then start another xterm. The next time you start X (relogin or reboot) the resources should be read automatically.
Another thing to try is to use a wildcard to make sure that it is picking up the resource correctly. Use
XTerm*boldMode: false
instead.
Yet another thing to check is that you are actually running xterm
when you run a terminal process. If not, you will need to change the fonts with a different resource.
