I suppose only iLiHei has the problem?

MS Gothic is most affected by this issue, while Meiryo and MS Mincho is still 
ok.

I've just downloaded and tried VL Gothic and IPA Gothic. They are also too bold.

I suppose I can't change the embolden setting for only bold fonts in 
setting.xml, 
right?

You can, with certain font name regular expression like ".*Bold.*".

The above method is only applicable to those having a separate bold file. e.g. 
微軟雅黑

I think the problem is that gdipp makes the bold font too "thick" when the font 
does
not have a separate bold file.

*Bold.*" solves the problem of bold style, in my case.

Aah, those Gothic fonts do not have embedded bold fonts either. Any other 
workaround? 
Maybe these fonts require special treatment.

I think Microsoft YaHei has a separate bold font file named "msyhbd.ttf".

For those with no separate file, there is no solution right now. I can decrease 
the
embolden strength for artificial bold fonts. However, the displayed boldness 
seems to
be system dependent. The current boldness works perfectly in my case.
