The shear matrix is the way for italic. It's similar to the way used by word 
processors and others to display italic when there is no italic version available.
Bold is harder to do. The characters remain about the same size, but the lines 
are thicker. A way would be to scale up horizontaly and reduce the spacing 
between the characters. It will be more like "whide condenced"
