 When the server sends a \i{control sequence} indicating that some text
-should be displayed in \i{bold}, PuTTY can handle this two ways. It can
-either change the \i{font} for a bold version, or use the same font in a
-brighter colour. This control lets you choose which.

-By default the box is checked, so non-bold text is displayed in
-light grey and bold text is displayed in bright white (and similarly
-in other colours). If you uncheck the box, bold and non-bold text
-will be displayed in the same colour, and instead the font will
-change to indicate the difference.
