Not to my knowledge.  http://www.developwebs.net/html/less3.php has a 
sample page with bold, italic, and underline, all of which show up on a 
VGA monitor the way they are specified by my lynx.lss file.

I am one of those people who cannot remember the meaning of colors and I 
was not able to use Wordperfect with red signifying underline or block or 
I forget what, and blue background.  I managed to get a black background 
and underlines but not bold on a VGA monitor.

For the TTL monitor I specified bold italics underline as:  bold, reverse, 
underline.  They display as bold, normal, bold.

There may be some sort of conflict between reverse and underline and bold 
such that only one can display on a page - I ran across something to that 
effect. In DOS I can see bold and underline properly with lynx (I don't 
care about italics and don't recall how they show up).  Lynx does show 
some things as reverse.

I don't have dosemu set up here to experiment with.

Unfortunately I need to use both bold and underline on some pages that I 
translate, such as birth certificates where some text is bold on the form, 
and the handwritten entries are translated underlined.
