If so then courier new just happens to have the same metrics for regular and bold - nothing says a font has to do that. > Another example is the 'bold' feature in XTerm or in any other X > Terminal emulators : you have emboldened fonts which have exactly > the same height / width than the plain font (otherwise your terminal > window would look like crap). xterm/gnome-terminal/etc. don't use the bold font - they just draw the regular font twice, the second time at an offset. > So maybe I shall put the question in reverse : how can I do this :-) ? To guarantee same metrics for bold, I think you have to do the terminal emulator draw-it-twice hack.
