no, scribus offers only access to real bold and italic.
it's all about reliability. you'll be grateful, when you see that the
work you get back from the printshop looks like what you have thought it
should have been!

it's ok to do so. but:
- you're ideas will be taken more seriously if you refrain from
comparing scribus with publisher
- one the idea has been discussed here -- and if you have not changed
your mind -- you should put your suggestions and bug reports into

have fun
