I don't really have time to put up a good full-featured patch, but I  
did find where you can easily set your own fonts. Public chat messages  
are generated on lines 705 and 708 of hub.c, and to get a bright font  
(aka "bold" in ANSI), change the line to something like this:

Original: flag_putf(DC_DF_PUBLIC_CHAT, first ? _("[%s] Public: %s 
\n") : _(" | %s%s\n"), first?timestamp:"", quotearg(head));
Modified: flag_putf(DC_DF_PUBLIC_CHAT, first ? _("[%s] Public: \e[1m%s 
\e[22m\n") : _(" | %s\e[1m%s\e[22m\n"), first?timestamp:"",  
quotearg(head));

It works much like HTML, where each ANSI control starts with "\e[" and  
ends with "m". You can specify multiple numberic flags, separated by  
semicolons. You can read quite a bit about this at:
http://graphcomp.com/info/specs/ansi_col.html
or jump straight to a list of colors/fonts:
http://pueblo.sourceforge.net/doc/manual/ansi_color_codes.html

My example above makes the text "bold", which is supposed to be  
"brighter" version of the font color currently used.

Another useful spot to modify is lines 740 and 743, which are where  
private messages are printed.


Enjoy!
