The artificial fattening of the middle of the character strokes suggests that Johannes has one of the subpixel anti-aliasing methods turned on. While it doesn’t seem like that would have a cumulative effect of more than a single pixel, maybe it's somehow involved.
Johannes, does it change any if you set anti-aliasing to one of the supersampling methods?
