Summary: 

The documented way of emboldening lines in pic is to increase the point size.
This works on all devices for which the device driver doesn't have that
particular bug. In particular, it is known to work for the versatek driver
which comes with 4.2, but not with the imagen/canon 300 lines per inch
laser printer, with the manufacturer-supplied driver, as we received it.
It is guaranteed to work on the original CAT device, since the old pic code
used periods (.) of the current point size to create the line.
