   Can't be done. Well, actually, expanding it will slightly
   increase the apparent weight, but probably not enough.

   Use a different face. The most attractive monospace I've seen is
   cmtt, but there's no bold. Font & Function doesn't list a lot of
   monospace designs and most don't have a bold anyway. Perhaps you
   should switch to a non-monospace for listings.

Well, there is always LucidaSans-Typewriter which comes in four styles,
regular, italic, bold, and bold italic...
