Not quite that simple, but simple enough. In 1989, Jerry Leichter
<LEICHTER-JERRY@CS.YALE.EDU> wrote bsf.sty to include boldface san serif
(via \bsf as a font family name pointing to the cmssbx10 font) into the old
font selection scheme. I used his template, changed a few names and created
bsl.sty (for bold slanted via \bsl for a font family name pointing to the
cmbxsl10 font) and isf.sty (for italicized sans serif via \isf as a font
family name pointing to the cmssi10 font).  Mine are not documented
properly, although tey do point you to what fonts are used.  They can
easily serve as templates for other fonts (these were the ones we commonly
needed to use, so they became somewhat stable).  Since the family is
defined via these files, they are changed in size with size changing
commands, as with the default fonts.

To retrieve these files, include:
 SENDME STY.BSF
 SENDME STY.BSL
 SENDME STY.ISF
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). 
These files are also available for anonymous ftp retrieval from
Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in [FILESERV.STY].  Note that these are
explicitly for the old font selection scheme and are not compatible (at
least I don't think so) with the New Font Selection Scheme (NFSS).
