I'm not using the same version of Konsole, but it works for me on 24.12.2. I think konsole supports bold fonts for a long time now.

Can you check if you have bold version of the font you're using installed on your system? You can do that through font management in system settings.

I had to format my PC, is it possible to install Konsole on a system without installing SystemD?

The systemd is very bad on my PC, it causes a lot of problems.

I just installed it on the system which doesn't have systemd.

I leave a screenshot.

I tried to find if that font has a bold option, but couldn't find it due to its generic name I guess... It's possible it doesn't exist or it just not installed in which case Konsole works correctly.

I also don't have a bold version of that font on my system. Can you try other fonts which do have bold versions for sure, just so we can rule out Konsole?

Thanks for checking. Then, there is no problem with Konsole so I would close this ticket.

As for your problem, you can search for the bold version of the Monospace font, and if you don't find it, use some other font (that has bold version) that is similar to that one.

What is the name of the Monospace Bold font file, or regular Monospace? I ask to get my bearings.
Comment 10 Filip 2025-02-21 19:56:15 UTC
Sorry, I don't know
Comment 11 passymas 2025-02-22 04:51:05 UTC
I searched but I didn't find any font installed on my system, Monospace is probably a Kernel font

I don't know if I'm right in what I'm saying, or if I'm wrong.
