Summary0011922: PRINT_MODE:TEXT uses the wrong escape codes for bright colors
Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#Colors [^]

PRINT_MODE:TEXT assumes that a terminal will use bright colors when a dark color is combined with bold, despite the fact that there exist escape codes to specify the bright colors directly.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationI am using the Kitty terminal emulator, which has no setting to allow the bold escape code to turn colors bright.

There is a fork: https://github.com/KittyPatch/kitty [^] but it’s pretty out of date and even if you are able to compile it [^1], it still doesn’t work [^2].
It just shifts the problem and i have no idea of what is causing the new problem.

Any way, this issue is with dwarf fortress incorrectly printing characters: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/197#issuecomment-348062665 [^] .

Is there any chance of this being fixed? I’m currently forced to use a specific terminal emulator just to play dwarffortress.

[^1]: I was able to compile it by removing the -Werror flag: `find . \( -type d -name .git -prune \) -o -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i -e "s/'-Werror', //g" -e "s/ -Werror'/'/g" && make`
