Benno Fünfstück e829e13bb1 Apply ATTR_REVERSE after ATTR_FAINT
An example where the new behaviour makes more sense:

Suppose some text is formatted with ATTR_FAINT for red for the foreground, so it
is rendered in a dark red. In that case, when selected with the mouse, the
intended behaviour is that foreground and background color are swapped: so the
selection should be rendered in dark red and the text in the default background
color.

Before this patch, what happened was that the selection would be in normal red
and the text in the darkened background color, making it almost unreadable.

For an example application that uses the FAINT attribute, try dmesg from
util-linux with color support, it uses FAINT for segfault messages.

README

st - simple terminal
--------------------
st is a simple terminal emulator for X which sucks less.


Requirements
------------
In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.


Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (st is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install st (if
necessary as root):

    make clean install


Running st
----------
If you did not install st with make clean install, you must compile
the st terminfo entry with the following command:

    tic -sx st.info

See the man page for additional details.
