The Lucida case looks marginally bolder in notepad .. so this isn't
exactly what
you were describing. I don't see much difference in the consolas one.

But 13 is a bad size to be sure to compare properly because it doesn't
exactly equate
12 pt in JDK/Font2DTest and 9 pt at 96 dpi  in notepad would be better

OK, I tried a few other monospaced fonts, and my two faves also have the same 
problem:
