kompare not highlighting intra line differences

[Nordin, Lars P]

Thanks for that - I confirm that changing to a font with bold shows the intra-line differences again for me.
Changing Kompare to use background shading would be nicer - and easier to see (meld does this).

I take that back. Apparently the fixed width font I had set (Oxygen
Mono) doesn't have a bold. Changing to Monospace which does shows the character differences just fine. I wonder if we should change kompare to use some other styling besides bold to indicate character differences, something like changing the text color or the background color maybe?
