Yes, it reproduces the problem. The first line has non-bold text. The second line has bold text of bigger size.

Steps to reproduce:
1. open buffer with non-bold and bold text (for example, in org-mode
text surrounded by `*` asterisk symbols)
2. set default font: `eval-expression`:
(set-frame-font
"-misc-fixed-normal-normal-normal--13-120-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1")
3. observe the font size difference between bold and non-bold text

Does the following reproduce the problem for you?

(progn
(set-frame-font
"-misc-fixed-normal-normal-normal--13-120-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1")
(pop-to-buffer "*bold*")
(insert "foo\n")
(insert (propertize "foo\n" 'face 'bold)))

I don't have the font here on this system, so I can't test it.
