  In scientific texts  (mathematical) vectors are usually
typed in boldface. In order to get greek symbols bold, I
use \boldmath (LaTeX). However, this does not work in the 
footnotes (no boldmath in this typesize!).

Is there are way to scale un available font (cmmib10) so that 
I can print bold greek letters in footnotesize?
How do I do that? The LateX manual does not give much advise in
that.

I tried

  \newfont{\bmathfn}{cmmib10 scaled X}

but that did not work. Using \bmathfn in the footnotes
did not have any effect on the size or style of the footnote.

What is the solution?
