I have a macro that uses \sl to write a particular word using cmsl10.
However I sometimes use that macro in a title, which is printed using \bd
to get bold characters. However the macro using \sl will still use the
font cmsl10. I would like to have it use cmbxsl10 instead.

How can I detect that \bf is being used? Is the only way to redefine \bf
to set a flag and test the flag in my macro?

Thanks in advance. Please preferably reply by Email.
