I'm not familiar with how to use the bytecode hinter. Nevertheless, your 
two solutions yield unsatisfactory result, unfortunately. Turning off AA 
is a painful experience for my eyes and emboldening is, well, too bold 
for a regular typeface.

Looks like your version of Liberation Mono is a bit out of date, I'm now 
on Ubuntu 12.04 with fonts-liberation version 1.07.0-2 and the command 
shows both Liberation Mono and Courier New.

How about putting Liberation Mono right before Courier New so that at 
least it has a chance to match?
