[tex-live] `BoldFont' feature for XeTeX?

[Werner LEMBERG]

Jonathan,


I have been asked whether you can implement a `BoldFont' feature
similar to the `SlantFont' feature already part of XeTeX.  For CJK
fonts such an option can be very useful.  Currently, we are emulating
it with

  \special{pdf: literal direct 0.5 w 2 Tr}

but a native XeTeX solution would be better.
