You might try the infinality patch set
(http://www.infinality.net/blog/).  Look at the option
INFINALITY_FT_USE_VARIOUS_TWEAKS which `Emboldens light and
thin-stemmed glyphs automatically.'  It comes with a bunch of special
settings to improve the rendering of Courier (with the auto-hinter).

Note that I plan to integrate some of those patches into FreeType.
However, I can't give any estimate when this will happen, sorry.
