Bold colors are gray in MinTTY

[fniessen]

In my case, I can edit ~/.minttyrc or add the "echo" commands to my ~/.zshrc file, I get the same results: my bold colors are gray in Cygwin's MinTTY.

Any idea what's going wrong here?

Best regards!

Unfortunately I'm no longer using MinTTY on a regular basis, so I'm not sure I can do much to help! I will leave this issue open in case anyone else can confirm having similar issues.

Thanks! (and also for your quick answer)

I have the same problem. You can use BoldAsFont instead of BoldAsColor. In your .minttyrc edit/add these lines:

BoldAsFont=yes
BoldAsColour=no

@fniessen can you give us an example of how to get the bold colors? I'm not sure when exactly does the bug manifests. Also, have you considered following @Elwin00 suggestion?
