How to disable bold font in vim?
Clark J. Wang
I'm using vim under Mac OS X's Terminal application. Some colors are
shown as bold font which looks not good in Terminal. So the question
is how can I disable bold fonts in vim? For now, I have to manually
change the colorscheme files by using Dark colors instead of light (?)
colors (e.g. use DarkMagenta instead of Magenta).
Thanks.

I don't seem to have this problem, so I suppose it is to do with your
colour scheme. Vim help recommends not mixing attributes with colouring,
but it wouldn't surprise me if some colour schemes did so. Or perhaps
Vim's defaults have some bold in them and they aren't cleared.

The simplest thing I can think of is basically what you're already
doing: change the colour scheme files. Better, though, is to make a copy
of $VIMRUNTIME/colors/whateveryouuse.vim in ~/.vim/colors.
You can then search it for cterm=\S*bold and remove bold from the list,
or change to =NONE if it's the only thing in the list. If that doesn't
work, figure out which colours still have the bold and add cterm=NONE to
those :hi commands in the scheme to ensure the Vim default is overridden.

Did this actually stop it being bold, or just make it nicer to look at
because the colour was darker?

What happens if, before setting ":syntax on", you set t_Co to 8 and t_md
to empty?
if !has('gui_running')
set t_Co=8 t_md=
endif
Best regards,
Tony.

configured to disable bold text, it has a setting: Bolded text is a
different color
