You can modify symbol.font.family[1] and add a symbol font that supports 
boldface. I always set it to empty, because I only use UTF-8 fonts which 
already include all the symbols I need.

No. Bold versions of a font aren’t automatically produced out of the normal 
version. They have to be designed too. Some word processors can automatically 
“boldify” a font, but the result isn’t very pretty/professional imho.
