Re: PATCH against CVS gnome-terminal - option to disable overstriking

[zucchi zedzone mmc com au (NotZed)]

I still need convincing this is actually a useful feature ...

I mean do people want underline turned off too?  It seems an
odd thing to want to do.

Maybe you should set your application not to bold, or use
a termcap/terminfo which disables it (which seems a more appropriate
way to do it).

Well it looks fine, apart from the obvious 'why' :)

But it might still go in at some point (although the option ui will
need modification so it isn't so cluttered).
