Most of the ones I've tried manage to use the same metrics for their 
regular and bold variants (I think even the old -misc-fixed-* PCF fonts 
mostly used the same width for regular and bold). Otherwise surely no 
text editor would've even bothered using that kind of styling in the 
first place.

But no problem. I do understand yours and Werner's point.
