There has been some talk in the past about TextMate's undesired  
tendency to use a software generated bold for the Bitstream Vera Sans  
Mono font.

One fix seems to be to run:

    sudo rm -rf /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS

Afterwards one will have to reboot the machine, but then the bold  
shows up as drawn. And what a difference it makes:

Though I don't know for how long this fix will work. And it will  
still look incorrect when the bold text is light on a dark background.
