Probably this is due to the following workaround only in the Mac port:

* emacs-24.4-mac-5.3 (2015-01-29)

** Fixed bugs

*** Synthetic bold text looks thinner on Retina display/HiDPI mode.
This is because stroke line width for text drawing is not correctly
scaled (whereas it is correctly scaled when drawn to bitmaps) on such
environments.  I've been reporting this to Apple on every OS X update
since it was 10.7.4, but I couldn't get any response until recently.
At last Apple answers that there are no plans to address this issue
(rdar://11644870) currently.  So I added a workaround that would cause
a bad reverse effect if the original issue were fixed.
