Bold and Italic texts styles are too big

Question

I have a problem with my \textbf and \textit commands, it makes my texts bigger than when no styles are applied.

An example is shown here:

enter image description here

I also put an URL inside the bold command (\textbf{http://www.stackoverflow.com/}) and it doesn't go back to the new line, so i have to manually put a space between words...

This is basically my header:

% Packages 
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{array,multirow,makecell}
\usepackage{fix-cm}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{indentfirst}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{eso-pic}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\fontsize{12}{12}
pagenumbering{arabic}

\section{Section}
    \subsection{Subsection}
        \subsubsection {Origin}
        \par
        Lorem ipsum \textbf{sit dolor amet}

Please add a minimal working example (MWE) to show your setup. — Joseph Wright, May 06 '14 at 20:20
I can't see any problems with your example code, except for a missing \ before pagenumbering. — Ian Thompson, May 06 '14 at 20:34
Your edited example is not sufficient to comment, please complete it to be a complete document that demonstrates the problem. — David Carlisle, May 06 '14 at 21:52

Your example isn't usable however the default bold fonts in the default Computer Modern font setup are bold extended (bx). Computer Modern also has a bold unextended series (b) which may be selected as shown.

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

abcdefghi

\textbf{abcdefghi}

{\fontseries{b}\selectfont abcdefghi}

\end{document}
