2665Synthetic bold looks thinner if the background is darker than the
2666foreground and font smoothing is turned on. In such cases, you can
2667turn off synthetic bold for particular fonts and use overstriking
2668instead by customizing the variable 'face-ignored-fonts'. For
2669instance, if the problem is with the Monaco font, you could put
2670something like the following in your init file:
2671
2672(push "\\`-[^-]*-monaco-bold-" face-ignored-fonts)
