I used vttest:

About halfway through menu option 2, you get this screen:

That’s with the latest version of Deja Vu Sans Mono on 64-bit Windows 10.  Looks fine to me.

Are you sure you have MinTTY configured to display bold with fonts, rather than colors?  Check Options > Text > Show bold as colour.  If that’s checked, it tries to fake bold by changing regular white (more like 75% gray) to bright white (100% white) and so forth.  I’m not sure what it does with displays that are already using the bright colors.
