There seems to be a typo in texinfo.tex: for normal size boldface,
it is using the cmb font.  All other sizes of bold font use the
more common cmbx font.  We discovered this while trying to TeX
some documentation since we don't have any font files built for
cmb.  The diff to use cmbx here, too, is below.
