| 2665 | Synthetic bold looks thinner if the background is darker than the | ||
| 2666 | foreground and font smoothing is turned on. In such cases, you can | ||
| 2667 | turn off synthetic bold for particular fonts and use overstriking | ||
| 2668 | instead by customizing the variable 'face-ignored-fonts'. For | ||
| 2669 | instance, if the problem is with the Monaco font, you could put | ||
| 2670 | something like the following in your init file: | ||

| 2672 | (push "\\`-[^-]*-monaco-bold-" face-ignored-fonts) | ||
