+			<p>Try pressing CMD-I and unchecking the Bold option. If you like the result then press "Update" to save it.</p>
+			<p>Try running this command to see the difference between the two behaviours:</p>
+			<pre>
+echo -ne '\e[0;31mplain\n\e[1;31mbold\n'\
+'\e[0;91mhighlight\n\e[1;91mbold+highlight\n\e[0m'
+</pre>
+			<p>With bold off, the last three appear the same, with bold on they are all distinct.</p>

 		<div class="question">My iTerm is too slow. What can I do to improve its performance?</div>
 		<div class="answer"><p>First of all, upgrade to the latest version. We are constantly updating the program to improve its performance. The latest version should run at least as fast as Apple's Terminal.app. Secondly, there are a couple of things you can tweak. Avoid using a big scrollback buffer. This would use a lot of memory especially if you have lots of tab open. Keeping windows geometry and font size small helps too. Disable transparency and anti-aliasing does have a minimal effect on speed. Turning off blur can improve performance dramatically for users with older computers. There is also an option to allow users to adjust the display refresh rate. Fast refreshing rate means more CPU usage, and it might decrease performance when there is a lot of scrolling.</p></div>
