Bug ID: 390629
Summary: Fonts not being rendered in bold in spite of removing
the face name from the configuration files.
Product: konsole
Version: 17.12.2
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: font
Assignee: konsole-***@kde.org
Reporter: ***@yahoo.com
Target Milestone: ---

Created attachment 110756

Konsole configuration

I may have missed something, but after installing Tumbleweed on another machine
and following the workarounds mentioned in bug 378523 and bug 384445, Konsole
does not render intense fonts in bold. Unlike in the previous report, Kate
renders bold fonts correctly.

Just to be sure, did you restart konsole after saving the changes to
kdeglobals?

Konsole also has per-profile font configuration. It is possible that these
still contain the face name. Please check ~/.local/share/konsole/*.profile

I did. Rebooted my computer to be doubly sure.

I did, and attached the current version of Profile 1.profile when creating this
bug.

I'm seeing the same problem on a fresh install in ArchLinux, all default
settings.

What version of Qt are you using?

I was able to get this workaround working again.

When the workaround did NOT work:
My .kdeglobals file had no entries for fonts, so everything was at system
defaults.

When the workaround DID work:
- I went to Font settings and brought up the font dialog to just select the
default fonts, and applying the changes.
- This put font entries in my .kdeglobals
- I deleted the new font-related occurrences of "Regular"
- I killed all running Konsole instances

After that Konsole renders intense colors as bold correctly.

Perhaps some KDE-related font cache had to get updated by font dialog, or the
font entries in .kdeglobals.

To clarify, bold fonts works as expected with this entry in my .kdeglobals:

[General]
ColorScheme=Default
Name=Breeze
dbfile=/home/mdlui/.mozilla/firefox/xo4nvchd.default/places.sqlite
fixed=Hack,9,-1,0,50,0,0,0,0,0,
font=Noto Sans,10,-1,0,50,0,0,0,0,0,
menuFont=Noto Sans,10,-1,0,50,0,0,0,0,0,
shadeSortColumn=true
smallestReadableFont=Noto Sans,8,-1,0,50,0,0,0,0,0,
toolBarFont=Noto Sans,10,-1,0,50,0,0,0,0,0,



This did not render intense colors as bold:

[General]
ColorScheme=Default
Name=Breeze
dbfile=/home/mdlui/.mozilla/firefox/xo4nvchd.default/places.sqlite

I also having than on Gentoo (so, not only arch and suse are affected).

And, the workaround about kdeglobals seems to work (although, I'm not sure if
it was workaround of dropping ",Regular" helped, or it was also necessarily to
switch all the fonts to Droid Sans in the font dialog (previously I had Roboto
for all, and PragmataPro Mono for monospace).
