SUMMARY

using ANSI escape sequence for dim/faint does not make the text dim at all.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

enter following on konsole.
printf "Regular\n\x1b[1mBold\x1b[22m\n\x1b[2mFaint\x1b[22m\n" 

OBSERVED RESULT

the line "Faint" has no distinct from the line "Regular".

EXPECTED RESULT

colors are rendered dim/faint/light gray as specified in ANSI escape code.

Konsole uses its color schemes to select a faint color. You could try selecting a different color scheme, or tweaking the faint colors in your chosen color scheme.
