The X11 version does handle that case.  Basically, we can also do the
same thing on Mac OS X/Carbon (try the attached patch).  But this is
not enough when used with anti-aliasing, because text drawing is no
longer idempotent: if the same text is drawn several times onto the
same place, it gets thicker.  You will notice that cursor movement
makes some characters look like in bold face as in the attached
screenshot.
