Hi,

I was thinking about this one on the drive home. I also recall that the
font rendering libraries vary in their willingness to do pseudo bold and
italic characters. It's been a long time since I worked in that area, but
it seems like that one gets uggo bold fonts in Safari and Firefox. There is
a flawed approach to this, and it is sometimes used in the absence of
separate weights.

thanks,
Rob
