it should scale the thickness with the font size (like it does now for

Suggestions welcome.

I assume you have already tried quite a few suggestions. Did you try
digitally inflating the bitmap image of the normal weight characters?
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.
Did you try using the metrics from the normal weight while rendering
with the bold weight?
The bold font is requested to be created with the same metrics ...
