I emboldened the commercial at sign in Serif and Sans.
In mono, it is already bolder.

(Actually, it was sort of slightly bolder already, but not noticeably.)

The other problems mentioned no longer seeem to be the case.

Thanks again!

This is from Jacob Poon's report of 2007-10,
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106274

All of these are as in the original URW++ Nimbus.
I'm not sure what is best here.
For now, I'll leave them.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Commercial at (U+0040), degree sign (U+00B0) in bold fonts do not have heavier weights. The bug does not exist in other font families.

Low line (U+005F) in bold fonts do not have heavier weight.

Tilde (U+007E) in all font variants has uniform stroke weight, which does not fit the design in the rest of the font. Tilde from tilde operator (U+223C) of the same font should be used.
