I think you are out of luck here. FOP requires a font containing the actual bold (or italic) characters it has no capability to derive / render a bold character from a given 'plain' character. You would need to find a font which contains the bold characters you are interested in. > (I'm using FOP 0.93 embedded into a java app using version 1.4.2_03 > on Windows.
