Description
Here's how Fira Code looks like in emacs when set to size 13. Note the embolden selection in lower section - it looks fine.

The very same screen, but only size changed from 13 to 14. Notice that embolden selection now appears narrower than other lines.

Changing spacing and width does not help at all.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Emacs using Fira Code at sizes 13 and 14, with character width or letter spacing changed and an emboldened selection visible. Compare the emboldened selection width with surrounding lines; done means the widths remain consistent at sizes other than 13.
