    Unlike the standard Arial family, Arial Unicode MS only comes with a
    single weight (regular) and style (roman).

    You can create synthetic (or faux) weights and styles using your
    application's style buttons and these will work perfectly well on screen
    and even with some printers (mainly inkjet). But these faux weights and
    styles will hardly ever work in desktop postscript printers, and never in
    pdfs or imagesetters.
