REQUEST: bold-font-color

The only thing that keeps me from being able to use PuTTY, as opposed to running an X server and using XTerm, is the handling of bold characters. You can either change to a bold font or change the color, but not both. The visual cues from this handling are lacking for those of us who deal with lots of text, and it would be nice to make the font both bold and brighter--like XTerm, Gnome Terminal, etc. This has apparently already been mentioned some time ago:

It\'s listed as a wishlist item, but is a showstopper for me. I\'ve gathered a few things to set up a build env for PuTTY so I could add this feature, but I would love it if you could do it instead.
