Yes. Just checked on another display and I do not see that problem there. (However later is w2k and the one where I see the problem is XP.) So you didn't really check on another display, but another computer setup... And AFAIK, W2K does not support ClearType. Yes, a totally different setup. No ClearType, no KVM, w2k. Does it happen with the stock CVS Emacs too? Five months ago I committed a patch from Ben North that could be related (Ben's patch definitely fixed a problem with bold faces in ClearType-enabled Windows, BTW). Yes, it happens with the stock CVS Emacs too. (I always - tbh nearly - with the stock CVS Emacs first. Even if I see no reason that there should be any difference.) 2006-10-27 Ben North [EMAIL PROTECTED] (tiny change) * w32term.c (x_draw_glyph_string_foreground): Set background mode to TRANSPARENT before using overstrike to simulate bold faces. * xfaces.c (best_matching_font): Fix logic to decide whether to use overstriking to simulate bold-face (it was reversed).

Bug appears only when Cleartype enabled, probably related to the hack introduced on 2005-07-01 to fix some other Cleartype problem. In fact, your problem could be related to the original problem fixed by Jason's original patch of 2005-07-01. BTW, what font are you using in your tests? Or does it happen with any font?

Yes, I have seen some traces of background coloring remaining on the screen, but I wonder whether that is an overlay only thing. I will try to observe it again. BTW, what font are you using in your tests? Or does it happen with any font? The default. I have never tried changing font, actually.
