You might not want to hear it, but the answer is to choose a font in the first place that has bold and italic variants. Faked bolds and obliques are always inferior to true bolds and italics and you may well end up with unwanted substitutions if you're getting the job printed at a service bureau. If you must have a bold, use FontLab or Fontographer so that you get the best result possible.
