I really like the new markdown editor (source view) and I stay now most of the time in the source view mode.

There is only one thing which would make a great thing even better and this is the rendering of bold text in the source view. Italics and highlights are already supported.

Which Markdown font do you use, see _Settings \> Editing \> Format_?

My apologies, the problem was with the selected font and not with DEVONthink. Thanks Christian.
