Another way is to put the different bolds into 4 style "sets" assigned a
different name in a suitcase by itself. then use suitcaseII to pull in the
family (eg. heavy bold times) that you want. It's a little clumsy and uses
redundant space on your disk but it is possible in a simple fashion.

Hope this helps
