This is a non-default setting.  In such a case, please describe your
font setting in your bug report so others can reproduce your situation
as closely as possible.

Anyway, I tried to do that by

  1) Installing fonts by copying
     /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/Vera*.ttf to ~/Library/Fonts using
     Finder.
  2) (set-face-attribute 'variable-pitch nil :family "bitstream vera sans")
  3) C-h i

I could reproduce the problem on Mac OS X 10.4.5, but not on 10.3.9.
On 10.4.5, not only the bold font but also the normal one showed the
same problem.

  4) (set-face-attribute 'info-title-4 nil :weight 'normal)

So I suspect this is a bug in QuickDraw Text on 10.4.  Unfortunately,
Apple declares it is deprecated on 10.4, so maybe we can't expect it
will get fixed :-(
