[Bug 1577943] [NEW] kompare not highlighting intra line differences. Bold text not shown. Problems with kompare and fonts

[Ganton]

Public bug reported:

Dear Sirs:

I suppose that you already know that, although I've looked for a bug
report but it didn't appear:

Using Kubuntu 16.04 this problem is seen: "kompare not highlighting
intra line differences". There are more details in: https://osdir.com/ml
/kompare-devel/2016-01/msg00005.html

In the former Kubuntu LTS release (Kubuntu 14.04): kompare uses the
"DejaVu Sans Mono" font by default, and kompare correctly highlights
intra line differences.  But in Kubuntu 16.04 LTS, using kompare an
Oxygen font by default, the aforementioned problem is seen.

Perhaps Kubuntu 16.04 LTS should include an Oxygen bold font? Or in
Kubuntu 16.04 LTS  another font should be used in kompare? Or maybe is
something that kompare should solve and highlighting should work using a
normal font? Or is a problem in another component? (please feel free to
move this bug report to another category :-) )
