In the source code for Pd, I have also changed the default font
weight to “normal”, so there shouldn’t be a need for the bold
version. I have to fix the Windows build to be able to see it for
myself next, though.

Isn't changing the font weight a separate issue from fixing consistent
appearance across platforms, in that the font weight is a design
decision while using the same font and working font metrics are a bug
fix?

I propose that changing the font weight is treated as a separate step.
Miller probably consciously chose bold weight and we shouldn't treat it
as a bug. Personally, I'm not even in favor of font weight normal,
though I hardly care.
