I don't suppose there's a way of getting individual words or phrases in mtexts to plot in bold type when using shape fonts and named plot styles? With the old color-dependent plot styles, this can be accomplished by changing the color of the desired text to one that plots in a heavier lineweight. However, since neither lineweight nor plot style can be specified at this level, getting bold text with named plot styles seems more problematic.
So far, I've just been creating additional text objects for the bold text, increasing the linewieght of these additional text objects, and then fitting them onto gaps typed into the main mtext. (Actually, I use two layers for this, one for normal text and one for bold text, since I like to keep all my objects ByLayer whenever possible.) This is kind of a pain, though, since the bold text has to be repositioned manually if I resize the main mtext box or edit the text.
