Sorry, missed that question first time. I first noticed the problem
when using gnus via ssh, not a very helpful test.
Much easier:

and your machine name should be bold.
But I have a further (bizarre) observation: This problem is
size and/or resolution-related:
Show bold as font
On Off
Size
8pt Works Doesn't work
12pt Doesn't work Doesn't work
The above is on a large screen (20" diagonal, resolution 1680 x 1050).
On a smaller screen (13" diagonal, resolution 1920 x 1080) I have to go
up to 16pt before bold and regular are indistinguishable...
