No; apart from how to find a suitable algorithm, this would bypass the
system font rendering, including smoothing/Cleartype, so likely not have
good results.

The bold font is requested to be created with the same metrics but turns
out to be created with different metrics.
There is no adjustment option during text output (which uses the Windows
function ExtTextOut), and "rendering" is done by Windows.
