Is there a way to use font color to represent bolding?
Bold fonts are used for emphasis. Since color is almost universally
available, there are lots of options to change colors (foreground and/or background), but without conventions we can't know what a particular color means without rtfm. Choosing colors is not simple as you need to accommodate various forms of color-blindness. Text-to-speech systems would have to be rewritten to detect color changes. Some of the technical problems could be handled by relying on underlying semantic markup and treating terminals and text-to-speech as different rendering systems.
