Hans,
would it be possible to add a embold feature (similar to the slanted
font feature) that fakes the bold font with
\starteffect[both]...\stopeffect and it doesn’t strecht the font?
much is possible if i can motivate myself
This was already requested by Ulrike Fischer
(https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2017/090094.html).
hm, i don't like such crappy features but anyway it has to be done at
the engine level (some efficient generic extension) ... so, if i add
something like that it won't happen in the current luatex release (which
is close to being frozen due to tex live) but later (e.g. the ctx
meeting luatex release)
(even then it probably demands some heuristic dimension trickery when
loading a font)
i did some experiments and there will be something in luatex 1.08 or
1.09 (planned to be released in september) so you have to be patient
Hans
