Right to the point here! With this list's help I found out that, at least
on my computer, there's no boldface of this font, and neither did I find
one in the 'net (did not search thoroughly, though). I tried activating the
fake bold, but somehow that does not seem to have any effect, at least when
viewing the result with acrobat reader.

Thanks all for your help, it is greatly appreciated!
