Hi,

I'm afraid making the glyph lines thicker not an option here. At the usual 
reading sizes, the stems will have a width of 1 pixel. Making that 2 pixels 
would make the glyphs look bold. (making the pixels darker cannot be done, 
stems should already be completely black)

Changing the width would also mean that all glyphs have to be tested again, 
and a lot of glyphs should be hinted again from scratch, which is too much 
work. And we also want to keep the Bitstream Vera look.

Maybe it just needs some time to get used to it? Most users who see the 
bytecode interpreter at work for teh first time say "that looks thin", but 
after one or two days they're used to it, and don't want to go back.
