The maddening thing is, that it does work for all fonts on another computer with essentially the same setup. Obviously, there must be some difference somewhere, but what?

Dear Justina, On vrijdag 12 februari 2021 17:54:01 CET, Justina Colmena ~biz wrote: I'm not sure. Why is that desirable? It is customary. Trojitá has marked up some parts of plain text emails since as long as I can remember, following even older conventions about *bold*, /italic/, and _underlined_. (It also makes links out of URLs and mail addresses.) I would tend to think that "text/plain" is just that. The text is shown as typed, stars or any other characters. Convention makes it a little bit more than that. Interpreting "Markdown" or other "rich text" formatting languages is an assumption to make for plain text emails. 5 * 6 = 30 How did you know I wanted that bold? I cannot know and I'm not involved (apart from the fact that I updated the regular expressions involved for compatibility with newer versions of Qt). Trojitá just has some simple logic built in to detect some common patterns. Anyway, my post was not about that. Given that Trojitá marks some parts of plain text emails as bold, I am faced with the issue that on one of my installations, the bold does not appear. I would like to find out what is the problem, so that I can fix it. Best, Erik

Interpreting "Markdown" or other "rich text" formatting languages is an assumption to make for plain text emails. 5 * 6 = 30 How did you know I wanted that bold? Many clients handle HTML emails with bold tags etc, and that is common for text that has to be formatted but that entails graphic design issues, bugs, and viruses which are much more complicated and less reliable to handle.

[trojita] No bold for text/plain mail (monospace font) in message viewer
Hi, On a new computer, I have the problem that Trojitá does not display monospace text bold. Such text is used for text with stars around in text/plain parts in the message viewer. On my old computer, bold is shown. Bold is also shown in the message list and message header, which both use a proportional font. Other applications (such as Kate and Konsole) show bold monospace fonts fine. So it must be a configuration issue. But I can't find out where. I know there were some KDE/Qt bugs related to bold text for monospaced fonts not working a few years back. However, none of the workarounds mentioned there seem appropriate. Does anyone have any idea? Best, Erik
