You know, it just occurred to me that I had a similar thing this week -- I wasn't using FM at the time, so I didn't make a connection to your post. I had been changing the fonts used in a text editor, but when I chose to go back to whatever the original font had been, the display was quite pixellated, and it was particularly apparent in the bold font.

What I ended up doing was to go to Adobe Type Manager (yes, I still use ATM 4.1 Pro, a dinosaur) and remove the troubled font from the installed list, reboot, unzip the font from the backups and reinstall it. That cured the problem.

I never did track down what might have caused the problem, though.

btw, I've come across some links to interesting (and modern!) font manager apps lately that I'd be happy to share if anybody's interested -- maybe we should do a separate thread so they'll get wider visibility though.
