That is not true. MC can turn on/off certain attributes of the screen -
one of the being the bold attribute. The terminal would draw characters
with the bold font instead of the normal one. Currently MC draws certain
parts of the screen with the bold attribute turned on and this is not
user configurable. A workaround would be to set the bold font of your
terminal to a normal font  if it is possible.
