ncurses in RH9

Hi all,

I'll written some code in ncurses but when I run the program in console mode, the colors don't come out as expected. I think the bold attribute doesn't work in the console. When I run it in a terminal on X-Window, it works fine, even the underline attribute works. I know the bold attribute worked in RH 7.3 and downwards but since RH 8, i've never been able to get it to work properly. Is there any way I can remedy this situation? Thanx in advance...

I think that there are not enough characters (such as bold or underlined characters) in pure terminal, but in X-Window terminal the case is a little different because you have Unicode supprot for most of fonts.
Bold in terminal - as far as I know - just changes the color so that it seems to be Bold.
If your colors are not set properly then it's a problem with your program because I have no problem with them (try init_pair, first).
I don't know if I could answer you question
