In manuals, the formatting seems lacklustered, especially boldness is missing, maybe related to sharkdp/bat#652 ?

If I got it right bat, doesn't understand that x Backspace x == bold x. I don't think pinfo has an issue with that:

Check value of $TERM and maybe try in other terminals. "Viewing line ..." looks bold, as if pinfo knows about bold attribute, but man didn't use it in the output.

TERM=xterm-256color

Tried in Alacritty as well, no difference

If you use man-db, you should set MAN_KEEP_FORMATTING=1 in your environment.
But ideally pinfo should be fixed to set it for you.
