[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
At least on MS Windows, bold is far too ugly for this face.  There is no
reason to make it bold.
 
Arguably, it is not too bad for the default font.  But it is terrible
for many fonts, at least on MS Windows.  Look at Lucida Console, for
example (attached).

We use bold for lots of things in Emacs, so I don't quite see why it
shouldn't be used for widget-button.  Closing.
