Having the current segment set to be bold by default makes it difficult to read complex characters such as Japanese and Chinese characters, and causes considerable eye strain over time.

Would it be possible to introduce a simple checkbox, etc. in the font settings for making the current segment bold? This way, it would also be possible to deactivate the bold setting if preferred.

This is would most appreciated. (And also thank you very much for an otherwise fantastic piece of software.)

    It would be nice also that the "Display Source Segment" option did not make the text bold.

    Sorry for that, changing "view_option_source_all_bold" in omegat.prefs to false does the trick.

      You do not have to edit omegat.prefs for that. Options > View > Display all source segments in bold.

    This is implemented in trunk, r10278. See the new preference View > Display active source segment in bold.
