It seems to me that the only way to get Bold or Italic font in
DirectFB is to use precompiled form.
Would it be "an easy" way to implement it algorithmicly hardware
accelerated in DirectFB ?

For exemple here is a sample code (SDL TTF) for Bold style:

for( row = dst->rows - 1; row >= 0; --row ) {
    pixmap = (Uint8*) dst->buffer + row * dst->pitch;
    for( offset=1; offset <= font->glyph_overhang; ++offset ) {
     for( col = dst->width - 1; col > 0; --col ) {
      pixel = (pixmap[col] + pixmap[col-1]);
      if( pixel > NUM_GRAYS - 1 ) {
       pixel = NUM_GRAYS - 1;
      }
      pixmap[col] = (Uint8) pixel;
     }
    }
   }
