This one essentially emulates the console's behaviour. Instead of drawing the thin line beneath underlined characters, they would be displayed in a colour of the user's choice (let's call it ul_color).

Likewise, instead of bold fonts, bright colours would be used, including for fg_color and ul_color, provided they're set to one of the 8 non-bright colours in ~/.mlterm/color. Bright colours are already used, but not for plain FG and without the option to disable bold fonts.

It may be easier to implement these options independently, i.e. one each for disabling bold text, disabling the underline, setting ul_color and using bright colours for fg_color and ul_color too (and maybe not using them at all).

This is mostly due to personal preference, but sometimes text that is both bold and bright (and/or underlined) provides too much emphasis, so using a single font style/weight would be less distracting.

Thank you for the other fixes. I built it, but for some reason the binary doesn't do anything. I didn't experiment any further to see if it might work, though. I'll try doing it during the following days.
