I am indeed shh-ing into one of the machines, actually into the one where bold under the indicator bar works. But that ssh session runs inside the same xterm terminal, which I assume to have the same configuration in both cases. Ssh itself would presumably not change font settings I guess and I tried with identical .bashrc files and the difference stayed.
If anyone else has a clue where I could be looking, I'd greatly appreciate any hints! best, Peter
