I'd need a TERM that has colors but disallows bold fonts. For some
reason I wasn't even able to construct a terminfo that would disallow
colors when using that $TERM inside xterm (and starting a new bash).
It seems that xterm always has certain capabilities, i.e. "ls --color"
is always showing colors in xterm, also with TERM=xterm-mono and
everything else I tried.

Anway, settings a translation to bind "allow-bold-fonts(toggle)"
to a key in xterm resources allows to block bold fonts whenever
watching systemd boot messages via ipmi or AMT in a xterm...
