So, just to be sure, if you don't set manually > the termName, does improve the situation? No, removing termName from .Xresources doesn't change the scenario at all. Also, as you might have read in a previous mail of mine, i suspect that this is mainly affecting vim, other terminals apps are able to display bold colours in non-screen terminals. But, why only vim is displaying this behaviour is beyond me. If it's of any use, i am attaching my vimrc. -- O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org
