No.  As comment #19 says, it is up to the implementation to decide how to
render 'intensive' text.  I think that, this recent rendering bug with certain
fonts aside, making intensive text bold looks better.  It also brings the
rendering into line with other terminals (xterm, gnome-terminal) so programs
developed and tested against those will render similar output in Konsole.  This
is a subjective matter so there is an argument, on aesthetic grounds, for
including a preference - which there is in recent trunk builds.

This change to make intensive text bold was made 4 years ago with the release
of KDE 4.0 but this particular bug as someone mentioned only appeared recently,
so the correct thing to do would be to investigate the cause of the bug
(whether in Qt, KDE or Konsole) and fix it.  If there is someone reading this
who has some time they can spare on the matter, that would be appreciated.
