Bold Element
The <Bold> element controls simulation of fonts that do not have the specified font face available. Bold simulation is controlled by this element if a font was specified in the <FontName> element, with its simulateMode attribute set to PDF and its simulate attribute set to bold. It’s optional and can only be used once.
If the font was not specified in a <FontName> element, the <Bold> element controls bold simulation if no bold face is found for the font.
The <Bold> element has no child elements.
