The problem might be that the glyph drawing backend calls a convenient
function provided by freetype to embolden the glyphs, which lacks
parameters to control how embolden is done.  Enabling antialias should
help:

Another solution is to convert the font to a bitmap one for the pixel
size used.  The convenient function uses different algorithm to embolden
bitmap glyphs, which is similar to what Windows does.
