I use the 'Terminus' font in emacs, and it seems that starting with
23.0.95 (and 23.0.96 as well), emacs always wants to render the
font in
bold. It looked perfect in 23.0.94, so something has changed since
then.
Here is a screenshot of the correct font rendering in 23.0.94. The
buffer name on the modeline is properly bold, everything else is
medium:

Here is a screenshot of the incorrect font rendering in 23.0.96:

Here is a copy of the font for reference:

As can be seen from the screenshot, I am setting the font with:
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :family "terminus" :height 140)
