[texhax] Bold slanted sans serif.

[Rolf Turner]

I tried to produce bold slanted sans serif text via

\textbf{\textsl{\textsf{Holy bathroom scales!}}}

and got the warning:

LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OT1/cmss/bx/sl' undefined
(Font)              using `OT1/cmss/bx/n' instead on input line 3.

[1] (./test.aux)

LaTeX Font Warning: Some font shapes were not available, defaults  
substituted.

The result was bold sans serif, not slanted.

Questions:

	(1) Is it possible to get bold slanted sans serif?  I.e. can I make the
	right font shapes available?

	(2) If so, how?  I presume I would need to download some (font?)  
file from
	some URL (where?) and then place them in the ``appropriate'' location
	(directory) on my machine (where?).

	If you know the answer to (2), may I humbly beseech you to please be as
	explicit as you possibly can --- I don't understand fonts and the  
sorts of
	files that underlie them worth a damn.  A defect in my character,  
but one
	which I have so far been unable to remedy.

	I am working on an Imac; the results of ``uname -a'' are:

Darwin TURNER-ROLF.local 8.11.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.11.1: Wed Oct

Thanks for any help that anyone can give me.

	cheers,
