Well, ttfautohint has no possibility to decide whether a font is bold
or not...  The Infinality patches, however, try to cater with such a
situation, giving different thresholds for bold shapes.  I haven't
checked yet whether this harmonizes (in your sense) the appearance of
regular and bold weights.  If this works as expected I could add an
option to ttfautohint to make it treat the font to be processed as
bold.
