Sorry I'm slow on these replies.

With raw_display (hg latest) you have to ask for bold, eg. "white,bold"
instead of just "white".  Many terminals can display bright colours
without making the text bold so I've tried to support that feature.

I also find bold text harder to read, so I really like this feature.

About the suspending, are you saying that it works properly with the
raw_display module?

If you're using the latest version from hg you can get bold and
underline by adding ",bold" and/or ",underline" to the foreground colour
definition.

if works in my tests with xterm and gnome-terminal, are you including
the ",bold" in the palette definition like this?:
https://excess.org/hg/urwid/file/a5314d585db4/palette_test.py#l137

If so could you post some code?
