I've just run into this problem (again, usually I just changed the font in Kate). The link in comment #6 seems to be the key, and the package responsible is fonts-droid, which causes the default monospace font to change from DejaVu Sans Mono to Droid Sans Mono which indeed doesn't support bold. I tried uninstalling the package but it's a dependency of texlive-full. The fix would appear to be to lower the priority of the droid fonts but I don't know what else that depends on.
I'm running 12.04, but at this point it's rather a horrible hybrid so my install doesn't really count for bug reporting purposes; I'm running both the kubuntu-ppa and texlive-backports repos. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to konsole in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972279 Title: Konsole displays bold text with normal weight To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/konsole/+bug/972279/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
