A solution is to create an "outline" which is the same color as the initial text (Layer  > text to path, Edit > Stroke path in Line mode), this may require adding some space between characters when creating the initial text.

Below, top-down:

1. the original font (URW Bookman Light),
   
2. the "thickened" font (2px outline),
   
3. a natively thicker font (URW Bookman Semi-bold).
