Actually I am loading normal arial.ttf and want to render bold characters
algorithmetically.
 My doubt is whether AttrList synthesizes bold or help fontconfig to load
bold font file itself.
 I want to know the api in lines to FT_Bitmap_Embolden in FreeType.
 Do I need to change FT2 backend a little to achieve this?
