Description of the new feature/enhancement

The OS X Terminal has a setting for “Use bright colors for bold text”. If it is disabled I always get normal colors for bold text, which I have found to be quite useful for readability on a terminal with bright background (which I personally prefer).

I can of course change the color scheme, which solves the issue locally. However, when I connect to a Linux server with ssh, it has a color scheme of its own. (Which I can also change, but it would be more practical if the terminal were able to handle it.)

Perhaps some time after Windows Terminal is able to display actual bold text?

@egmontkob thanks for connecting these up! This is, more correctly, a /dupe of #109 (although right now it points at the wrong product 😄)
