Can't get anything to display bold

Hi,

I'm having problems getting anything to display bold in
rxvt-unicode-2.1. I'm building on Linux(-2.4) and using a
non-UTF-8 locale.

I was hoping for some configuration which would display
the classic overstriking. I noticed that the "-fb" option for
selecting a bold font has been dropped, so I assume that
isn't used for displaying anymore.

I tried defining a few things in src/feature.h, but none of
these have helped me in getting overstrike to work. I
don't see bold as inverted anymore, so I'm half way
there. ;-)

#define NO_BRIGHTCOLOR
#define NO_BOLD_UNDERLINE_REVERSE
/* #define NO_PIXEL_DROPPING_AVOIDANCE */

CC=gcc-3.3 CXX=g++-3.3 CFLAGS="-O3 -march=i686
-Wall" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=i686 -Wall" ./configure
--prefix=$HOME --with-term=rxvt --enable-smart-resize
--enable-mousewheel --enable-rxvt-scroll
--enable-selectionscrolling --enable-keepscrolling
--enable-24bit --enable-swapscreen --disable-utmp
--disable-wtmp --disable-pointer-blank

(rxvt has always been a pain to configure. ./configure vs.
src/feature.h vs. Xdefaults vs. command line. ;-> I
always used to fiddle with ./configure and src/feature.h
until it looked right for me. But bold _does_ work with
older rxvts.)

BTW, I don't get the xterm like mouse pointer (which
looks like a vertical text cursor) anymore. That was quite
practical for selection...

Thanks,
Moritz
