I don't see why there *must* be such an option. Bold fonts are not a subset of existing fonts, despite what it might look like when you use Word (which creates fake bold fonts on its own). They exist on their own, with their own names. True, they are usually a variant of another existing font, but there's no mandatory naming scheme that says that if font X exists then the bold variant will be called X-Bold, or something like that, or that such a variant has to exist in the first place.
