You can't use FT_Glyph_Transform() to get an italic font!  You can use
it to get a slanted font, which is something completely different.

Bolding is not supported in FreeType, since this is a non-trivial
operation.  You might experiment with ftsynth.c (which is completely
unsupported -- ask David if you have problems).
