Yeah? What was the reason for that? How is {\bf foo}
inferior? This is the second time today this happened,
I seem to be totally outdated... - but {\bf foo} works
with both pdflatex and xelatex (which I got from the
Debian Jessie repositories). I prefer that form as it
is quicker to type and has a more encapsulated
syntax. But I'll start using \textbf{foo} if you in
just one sentence or so can tell me what the gain would
be.
\textbf and friends handle italic correction for you and are able to be nested,
e.g., \textit{\textbf{blah}} is bold and italic. See also
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/41681/correct-way-to-bold-italicize-text.
I know that’s two sentences (now three), but I’m feeling generous today. :-)
