To me it seems that only ATSUI has the ability to synthesize bold or italic for fonts where a drawn version doesn't exist. Although with Panther, AppKit did get the ability to sheer the fonts using NSObliquenessAttributeName (with which you can then synthesize your own italic).

It is also possible to synthesize bolding using negative values for NSStrokeWidthAttributeName. Of course, you may then also wish to use NSKernAttributeName as well, so that the heavier glyphs do not appear too close together. All in all, it is better to have a bold variant defined in the font.
