As a point of comparison, Mintty has this option as a dropdown list with the label "Show bold", and with the choices "as font", "as color", or "as font & as color". XTerm just as the option to toggle the bold fonts (at least in the UI) with a checked menu item labelled "Bold Fonts". And Gnome Terminal just as the option to toggle the bright colors with a checkbox labelled "Show bold text in bright colors".

My recommendation would be something similar to what Mintty has, but with a little more detail, e.g.:

  • Show bold with brighter colors
  • Show bold with a heavier font weight
  • Show bold with both font weight and color

I think most people that are going to want to mess with this know that it's the "bold" functionality that they're tweaking. And what we're trying to differentiate is whether it affects the font or the color (or both).
