I found a setting for monospaced fonts. Look on the Settings, Post(script)tab. For monospaced fonts try changing the "Fixed pitch" field from 0 to 1.
If that doesn't work, (I'm only guessing that it will), you may have to create a bold variant of your regular font so that Windows uses that when you request bold in Applications, rather than using its own algorithms for making text bold. This approach is advised if you ever want to use your font for creating PDF files, since PDF files don't like false fonts.
See the Glyph Transformer feature to make a bold version fairly easily.
