If I understand correctly, there are two unique features in X-TT which
are loved by people using Hanzi: artificial bold and oblique.  I've found
you already get artificial oblique working in Xft 2.  But I don't think
artificial bold is there.  Actually, I don't know how that is going to
happen since FreeType group has not decided how to implement that.
