The original LaserWriter had the boldface symbol font, but the upgraded
version did not (they replaced that part of the ROM with more 
sophisticated program, I believe). We discovered this early on
as we were among the first to get the upgraded ROMs. We were told
that Apple never said BF Symbol was supported.

I get around this by overprinting a symbol with the same symbol
shifted one point to the right (using the overprint feature of
Word). Kludgy, doesn't really look that great. The only really
satisfactory solution, I think, is to buy a symbol font that has
boldface, and to download it into the LW when needed.
