PS and PDF do not support synthetic fonts. To get synthetic bold when printing we need to embed the synthetic font outlines. GDI does provide the synthetic outlines (via GetGlyphOutline). I have not done any testing to check if FreeType provides the synthetic outlines (via FT_Outline_Decompose).
If FreeType does provide the outlines then it is just a case of forcing the fallback path in cairo when the font is synthetic. With FreeType fonts this is easy as we can check for the CAIRO_FT_OPTIONS_EMBOLDEN flag. On GDI this is harder as I don't know of any way to test if GDI is synthesising a font.
